I truly loved her so much. Always when she came to the Doctor at Park Clinic we always talked about everything. I would even go and visited her at the nursing home from time to time and just see how she was. She was the sweetest lady ever. I always wished she had been my grandmother that I never had in life. My prayers are with the family you sure have lost a very precious soul.. I will miss her. Bobbie Fowler Smith
