To Candy, Jan and Denis your mom was a very special lady. She was more than a resident to us. She was that loving Grandma to many of us. She was really caring even when we were supposed to care for her. Each and every day she never failed to enquire about my family and how my wife was doing. Even during those hard times when her healthy was failing she remained true. She was my grandma in America!! She always wanted me to sit down and rest, she worried about me each day, she expressed that motherly love to all of us. At the same time she never failed to tell one her feelings or opinion on some issues. Her Faith and beliefs remained true to her last day. I will always thank God for the many years shared and the ultimate previlege of caring for your mom. Family meant everything to her. No more pain or suffering, she is happy watching over us till we physically meet again. Let's all live to celebrate a life well lived!!! Thanks to you all for making it possible for us to care for your mom. We love you. God bless you!!!
