Mrs. Prater was a regular salon client of mine at Stonehaven Assisted Living. From the first moment I met her, I adored her. She was such a ray of positivity and love, and anyone who knew her was blessed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She was very loved and will be missed. It has been my honor to make her look and feel beautiful, to bring a smile to her face when I was finished. I am blessed to have known such an amazing woman.

I will miss my Aunt Lorene and carry many fond memories in my heart. So thankful that she is no longer in constant pain, but will miss her kind spirit and the joy that she brought to all who knew her. We have laughed together many times about the things that Calvin and I did as kids. She and mother were next door neighbors and friends for many years! May you Rest In Peace . You will be missed!
