Also left to miss their step-great grandmother are Angela & Brent’s grandchildren Tobias and Elliot Rekker.
The family would like to express their unending gratitude to Dr. Pinard for his care of our Mom; CCAC for their ongoing assistance, and last, but not least the staff of Groves Park Lodge, who cared for Mom like she was family.
