Love you Grandma Miller!
Love you great “great” grandma. We will miss you but will always rember your stories
I heard this news today while I was at work. First shock, then sadness and finally acceptance that she has been joined with her family and friends that went before her and for a life well lived. I will miss her coming to the reception desk to chat, delivering packages to her room and just that beautiful smile whenever I would see her. She brought so much joy to everyone here at Laurels. I really got to know Jim and Kim during their recent summer stay and I am so glad for this. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Joanne
She was a wonderful lady and a fun person to be around. Will miss her at activities at the Laurels of Kent.
Saddened to hear about JoAnne’s passing. My prayers to her family and friends
I loved JoAnne she was always one of the sweetest residents I took care of. I’d spend hours chatting with her about life and the crazy shows she’d watch. I’m happy she got to live a long life and I know she’s happy where she is now. She was a wonderful person and one of my favorites. I will truly miss her and the facility won’t feel the same without her. My condolences to the family as you take the time to mourn.
You meant so much more than a friend to Ray and me. We love you so much. Your laugh was contagious and we miss it. You made us feel like a part of your family. We will forever be grateful for your love. Thankful for the peace of knowing you are in Heaven with God and Jesus. Hug Kiel for us! There is a big hole in our life without you. You and the family are such a blessing to us.
