I will miss aunt Dorothy very much. I was always amazed at how she dealt with all of her physical challenges. She was always so interested in my family and I could feel her love for them. I know that she is finally at peace with God and happier than we can even imagine. Love, Susan
Miss Beard was a very special part of our extended family at Laurels of GreenTree Ridge. You could always count on her for an encouraging word and great conversation. Miss Beard also played an important role outside the facility by providing an insiders look into the life as a nursing home patient for a college philosophy class and was an intrigal part of the entire presentation.
Much love to her family – we will miss you all very much.
Dear Friends,
My heart grieves with you.You are in my prayers.
In Christ love,
