I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I thank God for the time I was able to spend with Mrs. Gillie. She and I would enjoy eating strawberry ice cream together in the afternoons when I worked in the Activities Dept.

Aunt Carnell was a lady of kindness and compassion. Although our visits to Eden were many years apart, each time she made us feel comfortable and glad to be there. May happy memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Dear Uncle Allen, Although I only met Aunt Carnell a few times I loved her instantly. She was gracious and loving. She made everyone in her presence feel like they were the only one in the room because she focused on them. May the Lord bless you at this time with peace and happy memories. love, Brenda Gillie
