The family extends our heartfelt gratitude for the loving and exceptional care she received at The Dugger House in Edna and from RN Linda Loewen and her loving staff at The Home Place in Ganado over the past few years. A special thanks also to the Ganado Nursing Home for their wonderful care over the last few weeks. Loving thanks to Crown Hospice and their kind staff for the dignity and respect given to our Mom over an extended period of time.
