Our Mother so Dear, We’ve laughed and cried through the years. God was so good to give us this time we’ve enjoyed and shared. We’ll never forget your gentle way not to lecture, but just to advise. Your strength was immeasurable, whatever came your way. You taught us to be kind and love one another, no matter what our differences. We know you'll always be with us, as our Angel above. We’ll miss you and always love you, Your Family.

We want to thank the staff at Good Samaritan, the staff at ResCare HomeCare and especially the caregivers, Elaine and Lupe.
