Our mom was one of the strongest, most determined, never complaining women we know. She hated to have to ask for help with anything. She has had numerous illnesses and setbacks through the years, but she fought hard to the end.

We want to thank the nurses and doctors at Crane Memorial Hospital, ORMC CCU and ER departments, and nurses and staff at Madison Medical Resort and Star Hospice.
