Erin Kay wrote a sympathy message

“Hello, I am sorry to hear about Amelia. I had the great pleasure of visiting with and working (as a student nurse) with her several times at the Sandstone facility. She was SO delightful! She always had a smile on her face and was just a lovely lady! She was so kind and helpful when I needed to learn about assessments; Amelia made me feel competent. :) I appreciated the chance to meet such a wonderful woman! I am praying you find comfort in the good memories. Sincerely, Erin”
