I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom and I were close friends when she worked at Brookdale. She was a wonderful person and a caring nurse. I remember coming to her house on one occasion, having a glass of wine and laughing so hard. I kept in touch with her on FB but it wasn’t the same as seeing her everyday. I know she is now free from pain and flying with angels. I will cherish the memories I have of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 🙏🙏❤️
