Monticello, AR Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Your mom was a blessing to our family at Belleview. My mom (Bessie Shelton) was your mom's roommate for a while. Ms Joan would give me reports on how mom was doing or how she had made it during the night. Mom has dementia. I thank God for putting Ms. Joan in our lives. She was truly a blessing and a witness. I never saw her eat her meal without first saying a blessing. God Bless Your FamilyRonald and Alice Merle Seamans
