A special thanks to Memorial Home Health Care Services several years ago and recently a very brief period of assistance from Memorial Hospice.

The very blessed thank you for Dr. Gerald Ellison, her physician during his entire 40 years of practice. He followed Dr. Anderson who was her previous doctor. Upon Dr. Ellison's retirement a handsome young doctor - Dr. Jeff Vantroba was May's choice to be her doctor. Special thanks and remembrance to all three. Dr. Anderson has gone to be with his Lord.

Mom, now that you're in your Heavenly home you can get in the boat and go fishing with dad, Edgar & Lola Trietch and Howard & Helen Light, Evelyn Moore.

'Beautiful Memories' Give dad a hug for all of us. Much Love, Johnny, Wayne and LeRoy
