The children wish to express to The Gardens of Clanton Assisted Living their heartfelt gratitude for the love and care that was extended to their mother during her residence there.

These ladies have become our extended family and words cannot express our love for them.

The family would also like to thank Hatley Health Care for the patience and love shown by them during their mother’s brief stay and Southern Care Hospice for their kindness during the last few days.

Mother is now home and she is once again happy and healthy.

We thank God for this.
