I remember Fay and Ken when they were neighbors at Hazel Dell Estates, and was so glad when he passed away that she was able to still live here for awhile.Wonderful couple and wonderful lady.

I was a brand new dental hygienist in 1970 and worked for Dr. Nelson. I remember how kind and patient your mom was as I learned how to be a member of a dental team. May she rest in peace.
