Dear Kenneth and Rene’. We are so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was the room-mate to my mother-in-law K.Lee Wright. We spoke with her often, and she was glad to share stories of the pictures in her room, and the get togethers there at Givens Health Care. Her face would light up when I mentioned her hair and that it made her look a few years younger. Our prayers are with you and your family.
