Prayers, Peace & Comfort to Your Wonderful Family.
I met this very nice woman from the Christian Community Health Center as a patient there several years ago. There was a mix up regarding an appointment, and after various exchanges with the staff, Miss Carter cleared it up & went out of the way to smooth things out by giving me two movie passes.Although I would see her, that was my only interaction with her. When I recognized her lovely face & read of her passing, I wanted to share. Some people touch your life with compassion & kindness!!!
