To Ms. Gracie’s family, I truly enjoyed my time caring for her. She was a special woman and always had a smile for me, even when she was feeling poorly. Ornery as ever, my favorite memory of her was teasing about ‘going dancing’ (helping her transfer from recliner to w/c or where-ever) and her stepping on my toes and giggling. She was a blessing and will truly be missed. God has called another angel home. May God bring you all comfort and peace during this time.
