She often spoke what was on her mind! (Lol), and she would always make you laugh, and she loved everyone! Thank you to MidSouth Happy Living for allowing her son-in-law, Christopher Clay, to be her caregiver for many years. Their bond was unbreakable. Also, thank you to Deaconess Hospice for the past couple of years of care given to our mom; especially to her main nurse, Mrs. Viriginia! I don’t know what we would have done without you! Fly high mama, we got it from here!
