Ms. Roz was a resident where my mother stays. She was a sweet friend to my mother, and never fail to share a laugh and story with me. Often I would go into the center and ask about her because I missed seeing her around. When I learned she passed, my heart grieved. My prayers are with each of you!
To the family, please accept my sincerest condolences in the loss of your beloved one. I know that you loved her, but God loved best, to bring her to her eternal home. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14 1:2
To the Sawyers Family, we are thinking of you and asking God to hold you close in comfort and love. (The Ridley Family)
