I am sorry to hear of Alma passing. She was always decent to me as an aide. I had only been an aide for a short time and she made sure I felt welcomed. She will be missed. Rip Alma.
Kathy, My thoughts and prayers for you and your family love to you Ginger
Kathy and family, Your Mom was special to me and will be missed! We talked a lot about you and all her family! She is at peace! Thinking of you all and wishing our deepest sympathy! Jewell Polzin
I loved miss Alma more then I should have as an aid at the care center. She was always asking about my kids and showed true interest in me and my family. I always told her she was my adopted grandmother since all my grandparents had passed away. So sorry for your loss. She was an awesome lady and she will be missed.
