The family would like to thank Hospice of South Texas, Dr. Whitehouse and staff for the care of our mom’s most intimate, vulnerable moments of her life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, act.alz.org.

Our last memories of our mother are simple; a hard-working passionate figure of strength who never waned in her support, or love of her family and who soldiered on even when times were tough.

John 14: 1-3

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And, if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."
