Lydia, thank you for your kind words. We sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness and caring ways with Trudy, especially being her special “makeup artist”, and helping her with her beautiful scarves. God Bless! Betty, Pam and Lenny
Ms Trudy was such a blessing . Seeing her smile made my day . She was so kind and appreciative. A truly beautiful person inside and out. She always had fun getting all dressed for the day with a scarf, a necklace, and earrings , and makeup. To hear her say thank you sweetheart melted my heart . We shared laughs , wafer cookies , and a few lessons in how do you say something in German lessons. She will be missed but not forgotten as she has touched so many people with her heart of gold . Thank you Pam and Lenny for the time we had with Ms Trudy you have no idea how much she meant to us!
Jennifer and An Angels Touch who each day brought back a little smile and happiness to our beloved “Mother”, (Mama). We know how hard it is to care for a person and have that special bond with them, from my experience working along side with all of you has made me a better person.
Thank you all from the deepest part of my heart I will forever be thankful and blessed knowing she had “Angels” by her side until her final breath.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, With love and caring compassion Lenny & Pam
I had the pleasure of taking care of her at Espirt. She was such a lovely loving lady. I can still hear her saying “honey, I need you!” Rest In Peace sweet angel.
