Isabelle was a remarkable woman, the type that made lemonade out of lemons. I had tremendous respect for her and admired how independent she was . I will miss taking her to see the State Street Eagles, talking to her about her church activities and backyard birds, or just sharing news we heard on TV or read in the newspaper. She was a good friend and neighbor and I will miss her. God called her home and I know her spirit lives on.
I have lost a dear friend who happened to be my aunt. She was my hero, my inspiration.
I Will truly miss Isabelle I have had the pleasure of working with her for the past 15 years as her prosthetist. I loved coming by to visit with her most times we would just talk about the birds her gardening and her love for the Eagles of State Street. She reminded me a lot of my grandmother very kind and always smiling. She would love it when I brought my dog Shelby by to visit her.
Rest in peace
I will always remember you.
Dave
