She was a one of a kind special woman. She’s made me laugh and she’s made me cry. Such a honor to be able to get to know her at Bluebonnet Place. I fell in love with her from day one. Her smile could light up the night and her quirky silly ways would keep me laughing. Her blue eyes were mesmerizing and her hugs were infectious. She wasn’t blood but she was family. She is going to be truly missed. And to her family, thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing her to Bluebonnet Place, I will never forget her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
