My mother in law is a resident of the third floor at Sunrise on Clayton. I became acquainted with Nola there - and used to bring my dog Lucy to visit her when I was there. She was a lovely person and we enjoyed out chats - mostly about dogs and her beloved pugs. I will miss her very much. Marnita Fabbre(Clayton, MO)
