Mama had many angels taking care of her at Dogwood Trails Manor, she was in a pretty place sitting up on a hill. At night you could see the most beautiful starry sky. Affinity Hospice made sure she had everything she needed for her comfort. They all treated her as their own family with love, prayers and encouragement. She was surrounded by loving people and roommates. Local Churches and ministries would visit and bring gifts and pray.

So the family would like to thank all of them that made her life happy.
