I met Mrs New in June. I was her aide. Mrs New always spoke so loving about her family. I never heard a person speak so nice about their family. She was very appreciative of my service to her. Until the resurrection Mrs New rest in peace. I will miss you.

To the "New" Family - I am so sorry for the loss of Stine. She is the epidemy of an excellent mom and friend. No matter what happens in life, she never changed. She continue to be Stine.
