Migdalia was the life of every party, she had a smile that would light up a room, it was in her nature to take care of others, that was one of the hardest things she had to deal with when she was sick, that she did not have the strength and energy to be the Homemaker & Caregiver she had always been to her Husband, Grandchildren, Daughter and the residents of Pauls Run. She will be missed dearly. We will See you again in Paradise my Love.
