I worked in the office at Brookdale Sandy Springs until my retirement a year ago. One of most fondest memories was Beverly coming by everyday and we talked forever. I just loved this lady to death. Shed was so sweet and kind. I will miss her terribly but I’ll see her one day again.
Love you Beverly!
