I only took care of your mother the evening of her passing, but it truly was a pleasure. I truly enjoyed spending time with your family and getting to know everyone. Your family was especially kind, compassionate and maintained a wonderful sense of humor while going through such a hard time. It is families such as yours that keeps me in nursing. Take Care, Tracey Holecek St. Mary's Hospital 9 West

Nils, Siss and Rogee, words can't express how sorry we are for your loss. There wasn't many things I wouldn't have done to help your Dad or Mom. The only thing that I can remember not wanting to do was when we were putting up the antenna on the new house and the tv came in better as long as I held onto the antenna, that's where I drew the line. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. The neighborhood just isn't the same anymore.
