Susan,
I was privileged to get to know your mother the first time she came to the nursing home--when I invited her to eat at the table where my mother always eat. Finding out her name, I told her I would always remember it because it is my mother's middle name. I walked her back to her room that evening and saw the picture of you and her beside her bed; we immediately had something to talk about. Her love and dependence on you were evident. During each of her visits to the nursing home I saw a kind and gentle woman; it is wonderful that in even difficult times the beauty of a person is evident. Please let your family know that your mother touched my heart. Mary Stiles
