Mom loved her family and friends and would visit them every opportunity she had. She was the best mom and grandma anyone could ever ask for. She crocheted afghans for all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and sewed each of them a new pair of pajamas every Christmas. She was also up for a good game of Pinnacle whenever the opportunity arose, as this was a Thompson family tradition.
She was a very selfless person who held a lot of love in her heart for her family and friends.
Our family would like to thank all the staff at Brookhaven for the excellent care she received during her short stay.
