Karlene Birthfield mother of Vivian George Smith, 31 and her family need our support. Vivian Smith's life tragically and abruptly ended in the early morning of Jan 20th when his live-in girlfriend shot and killed him while he slept in a bed in the home they shared. Karlene and her son Vivian are originally from the Island of Jamaica and Karlene would like to be able to get Vivian back to his home island for an appropriate burial near the rest of his family. Karlene is a dedicated employee of our Ensign Affiliated facility Rainier Rehabilitation and has committed her life to care for those who can not care for themselves. Let's return the favor and help take care of Karlene and her family in this time of grief and loss.
