Special love for their care goes to Peggy Hogue, Sarah Flores, Cheryl Flores, and mom’s caring neighbor Debbie who always checked in on her, cooked for her, and prayed with her.
Heartfelt thanks to the devoted staff of Westview Manor for their care, constant smiles, much needed hugs, and homemade cornbread made by Amy, Betty Haferkamp for her support, Pauline Tieben for preparation of meals, Dr. Marsh of Hillcrest Hospital emergency care, and Providence Hospice for their compassion during mom’s last few hours on Earth.
Whenever I would say to my mom, “I love you,” she would reply, “I loved you first,” to which I would say, “That’s not fair I couldn’t see you yet.” I will love her forevermore, as will all of her family.
God bless all who touched mom’s life that I may have unintentionally forgotten.
I would like to acknowledge Cole Funeral Home for the comfort provided after mom’s passing. Her wish was to be cremated.
