I have known Isabel for over 40 years and was acquainted again with her when she and my Dad lived at the same facility. Isabel recognized my Dad and went on a Lincoln thing for a couple months until things smoothed out for her again. My daughter and I came to visit Daddy and Isabel came up to my daughter and pulled on her pants leg and Jenn said hi Isabel, how are you today and she responded with” lets get the He!! out of here” and Jenn said well where should we go and she said ” to Lincoln of coarse, we got to get the wood in ya know!” Go_ Da_n it Sis!!!! We still chuckle and will miss Isabel so much. She is once again united with the love of her life. With deepest sympathy.

She was so supportive of my family during Robert’s passing. She did it in a very quiet manner and with a very beautiful smile. I see that in her daughter Andrea and her granddaughter Amber.
