Kim, your lovely mother always had a smile on her face when J came to the memory care unit to see my Dad Gary Thomas. Your Mom & my Dad shared the same Birthday! She was so sweet & had a gentle way about her. Wish I could have known your mother prior to her having to be placed in memory care, so I could have really got to know her. She like my Dad loved that music hour & you made the whole thing fun with your grandchildren & those clappers! I know how much you will miss her!! My deepest condolences.
