Friends at Cedars - Faye Brady and Miss Tungate

Lisa Nally-Martin was anxious to see a picture of Faye Brady when when she learned she

had a new hairdo.

 Before Faye entered Cedars of Lebanon Nursing Home, she had long hair,

which she wore in a pony tail or in a makeshift bun. Now she had a professional stylish short haircut.

Debbie and I set out for Cedars after work Friday to satisfy Lisa's curiousity and produce

evidence of the new Faye.

However, this did not happen to be one of Faye's best hair days.

It was, instead, a day of great upheaval for Faye; she shared her room with two other women, one

of which, that very day, had been transferred out and down the hall to a room where the residents go

if they require more intensive nursing care.

Miss Tungate's new bed was surrounded with family members, and they told us Faye had worn a path to Miss Tungate's room all day long, checking on her.

She would miss her room mate.

At Cedars, I guess just down the hall is a far-away place when friends are separated.
