The family would like to thank the caring nurses and staff at Cottage of the Shoals, and also say thank you to Tanya, Susan and the Alacare staff for their special care in her final hours.
God sends his angels in times of need. Debra Bolden was our angel. There are no words that can express our heartfelt thanks for your compassionate professional care of our mom, sister and aunt.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Muscle Shoals Baptist Church Building Fund in her memory.
