resigned effective December 31,

give the same quality care to our res-
idents that this home is known for
giving.
I’d like to wish my aunt

life-long resident of Beaumont,
Texas, prior to moving to Grandview
four years ago to live with her
daughter, Sue Darby. The first time
we met “Dot” she was here for a
visit and we invited her to join
“Ladies Car Races”. She won first
place that day and hasn’t slowed
down since! Beaumont’s loss is our
gain!
