Thanks to all the third-floor nurses at Northwest Health-La Porte hospital. The compassion and care that you showed our mom were more than any books could teach, and you all truly made her feel special for her stay at the hospital.

Thanks to Dunes Hospice for providing the support and care for our mom. Your outward signs of caring and concern were above and beyond anything that my brother and I could have imagined. Thank you all.

To David and I, mom was the most courageous and strongest person that we know and a perfect example of what endless and selfless love is from a mother. Mom, please tell everyone we say "hello" when you see them and forever rest in peace.
