Ms. Olean was such a Blessing....I will miss her sweet beautiful smile. I knew her from Tranquility of Dalton; My mother (Minnie Hobbs) was one of her neighbors there at Tranquility. My mother passed on 12-5-20, and I miss all the residents and caregivers there. I am so thankful for the hugs and love she shared with me (before the covid regulations) She was such an Angel and her daughters too. My prayers are with all the family. She is with our Heavenly Father God...But she will be missed her. God Bless you all.
