The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all the staff at The Pines at MM Ewing Continuing Care Center in Canandaigua for the exceptional care and kindness they showed to our mother the last 13 years. Their dedication, patience, and compassion have meant the world to our family. Knowing she was in such good hands brought us great comfort.

I am a college friend of Matt´s and had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Abraham for over thirty years. She always made me feel welcome in her home. I loved Mrs. Abraham for always being herself and speaking her mind. She was an excellent wife, mother, and grandmother. I´m sure she joined Mr. Abraham in heaven.

Sheila and I were part of the Saturday morning Small Christian Community that Fr. Ron Harley started years ago. We laughed together, cried together and shared many meals. I will miss her. Regrets to the family.
