I'm hoping I have the right lady. I only met Leila last Tues when I did her hair for the first time. I wanted to send my sympathies to her family, especially Connie whom I had the privilege of meeting with her sweet mom. After 26 years doing hair in assisted livings it still warms my heart when I see children serve and LOVE their parents on their later years. It was sweet when Connie had told me they were taking shifts so she wouldn't be alone. Leila was in so much pain I didn't get to hear much of her story other than talking to Connie but it sounds like you were blessed with a wonderful mom & you'll have cherished memories to hold dear & share! What a comfort knowing she's no longer in pain. May the Lord bless your family at this time in the loss of your mom! May you feel the love of our Savior always!Thanks for allowing me the privilege of doing your cute mom's hair!God Bless,
