Donald Broadnax says
I am so sad yet Highly blessed to have had the Honor and privilege to have been able to have been entrusted with the care of Momma D as her Nurse. She had quickly turned into my Friend,, Mentor, And Adopted Mom. I’m gonna miss our late night snacks, and my kids will miss visiting with her as will my Wife. God has really gained a beautiful kind Angel. I just want to thank the family for sharing her with myself and my family. Till we meet again in Heaven. RIP
