Special thanks for the nurses and doctors at Strait Richmond Hospital who were so wonderful to Mom during her short illness, VON nurses and continuing care.
To Dr. DeRoche and Dr. Cooper, thank you for your exceptional care, compassion and understanding over the last few months; we are so appreciative; Leah, you are wonderful! Thank you for your care, compassion and kindness. You are meant to be a nurse and you excel at this; Laura, you and Mom formed a special bond that can never be broken. Thank you for being you and looking after my precious Momma. We welcome you into our family with open arms.
Mom was a kind, loving and caring soul, who would help anyone in need. She believed in kindness, was a great listener, and gave the most wonderful hugs.
Momma Bear, I will miss our daily video chats, your advice and your ability to always make things seem not so bad.
“Loved you yesterday,
Love you still,
Always have and
Always will”
