    I don’t recall if I knew her or not but she and I are about the same age and I spent my first 22 years in Pensacola (on the beach) before marrying and moving to Alabama.
    I am sorry for the families loss, because Hospice was recognized I am assuming it was a lengthy sickness. Hospice nurses are God’s Angels!
    I thank GOD for the heath I have (the good and the bad) and will think of her often…
    God Bless You All……
