Dear Coselli family,



I had the pleasure of taking care of Mrs. Coselli for many months while she was in the hospital. She became a part of our family and she is very much missed by us all. I still look toward her room and expect her to be there so that I can wave at her and make her smile. She is now smiling down on us from heaven and is no longer suffering and trying to get well. I love you all and just keep in your hearts that she is resting in peace.

I helped to take care of Mrs. Coselli during her last days in the hospital. I felt very close to her and the family. The talks that I had with her and Mr. Coselli will be a priceless memory that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
