Ms. Duckett was a dear friend of mine that I met while visiting a family member at Emerald Ridge. She was truly one of the sweetest individuals I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Her kindness and sincerety during our time together will not be forgotten. The family and friends of Ms. Duckett are in my prayers.
