We will miss Ms. Tomlison at Aston Park Health Care Center. She had become a part of our big family. I will especially remember our talks in the hallway and dining room and her sweet smile. She could always find humor in whatever situation she was facing. My prayers go out to the family during this time of loss. Marsha Kaufman, Executive Director
