To honor our mother’s wishes, a formal service will not take place but rather an intimate tribute will be held privately.

We would like to extend our profound gratitude to AngelsGrace Hospice, Oconomowoc, for their extraordinary care and compassion, for maintaining our mother’s dignity and respect during a time of angst, and for showering her and us all with love and sensitivity beyond comprehension. We will never forget.

“Dance and you’ll feel better.”
