I want to offer my deepest condolences to the family. I thought the world of your mother, Mrs. Stanfield. I looked forward to seeing her each weekend at Shady Oaks and enjoyed taking care of her. I loved her spunk, fire and vinegar. She was a wonderful person, my only regret was I did not meet her sooner in life. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this time. Know that your mother touched so many lives including the residents at Shady Oaks as well as the staff, during her short stay with us. She will truly be missed.
