Heaven gained another sweet, caring, loving, kind and gentle spirit. She will 
be sadly missed by all who knew her.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of the Oaks of 
Houma, who provided loving care for more than 8 1/2 years, and to her dear 
roommate, Jeanette Haydel.
