    To the Brannan Family

    I would like to express my sincere thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I got to know Ms. Brannan through visiting my mother, Bertha Carroll, who was Ms. Brannan’s roommate at Zebulon Rehab. She was a joy to talk to during my visits with mom. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss.

    I could have searched the whole wide world over and could not have hand-picked a better mother-in-law. She was always sweet, kind, and softspoken. She always made me feel like one of her own. I loved her very much and it will never be anyone to replace her in my life. All that knew her loved her and anyone that she ever met she never forgot. I will miss her but I have many memories that will last a lifetime and I will always keep her memory alive. Always, Deborah
