Mom was the bravest person we knew. Over the past seven years she battled her illness without complaining. She always found the strength to place the needs of her family first, never giving up. We were so blessed to have her in our lives.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the numerous PSWs, doctors and to the staff at the Bob Kemp Hospice for always being sympathetic and comforting towards our mother.
