Dear Jennifer,
The Baylor Scott & White Hospice team would like to extend to you our deepest sympathy. Thank you for allowing us to care for your mother and please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much for everything I could not have asked for a better team than who y’all provided to my mother.
Jennifer ,
My condolences to you and your family !
29 years at Walmart – That is a very long time and I want you to know that your mom will be missed by so many but they will always have a special place in their hearts when it comes to Leola. She always took time to say hello , joke around , let you know and feel you were welcomed in that store. I can honestly say Leola was a dedicated employee at store # 1254 / Bellmead . She was my CSM back in the days and I learned from the best. Just want you to know Jennifer my prayers are with you .
Please take care
CSM – Arnold Navarrette
