You will not know me, but, I´m Kaye Fields daughter who was your mums friend in the home. I meet her a few times, so loving and caring, one time my mum was taken to hospital and we didn´t know if she was coming back (she did) your mum stood outside my mums room while they took her to the ambulance, then watched as she left. I stopped and talk to your mum she looked so sad, she didn´t say much but she just put a lace hanky in my hand to give to mum when she woke up. Mum will cherish this. Thank you for having such a lovely mother who cared about others. Also thank you for letting mum come and see Betty and to sit with her, this meant a lot to my mum. Diana
