Friend from Pine View
I am so pleased to have met Ms Rawlins at Pine View when I went to play the piano for the residents on many occasions. She was always so pleasant, had a great smile, and was good at conversing. I always enjoyed her so much. She played the piano and was kind enough to offer me some of her music. I really appreciated her for that. Ms Rawlins lived a long and good life and I know she is resting in peace. I will always remember her sweet personality, and forever be thankful for the opportunity to know her.
