Sending out my thoughts and prayers in the loss of your loved one. She was one of the best room-mates any one could ask for. I will never forget her. The nurses all loved her and told me many times durning the day how sweet she was and I totally agreed. God bless every-one!!!
For many years Mrs. Pannell -and Marland Hgts Pharmacy went together like “tea and cookies” In recent years we had lost contact -and didn’t realize Mrs. Pannell had become 100 years young! She always seemed young at heart. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Patricia Austin
