I only knew her briefly but, Mrs.Mangum was one of the sweetest persons I ever met. Whenever I delivered her medications, she would always greet me with a smile and welcome me like she knew me forever. She will truly be missed. And to the loved one she leaves behind, my greatest sympathy to you all.
