Dale, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was the sweetest person to me, and I will never forget her. She gave me so much comfort and love on the day of Mitchell's funeral. I know she is singing with the angels in heavens choir now. She's a special lady.

Such a special lady. I enjoyed the time I spent visiting with her at Elmcroft. Some people can make a lasting impact even if you only know them a short time-that's your mom. Praying for your family during this time, but rejoicing that Ms. Chris is in a better place and is made whole again.

Throughout my career as a nurse, I have truly learned that I am amongst angels. They are in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Mrs. Humphrey molded a spot in my heart while blessed with the opportunity to be in her life. I hope to be the Christian and angel to others, as she was to me. May she now rest for all of her labor here on earth. Love you Dale, David, and "Aunt" Mary.
