Geraldine, we are so sorry to learn of Mabel’s passing. She was Our Mother’s (Doris) roommate at Weddington Park. Mabel was the sweetest lady and she was a such a blessing to be around. We know you will miss her dearly as you were always so very good to Mabel. You and your family always saw that she had anything that she needed and wanted. May God bless you and your family.
