I would like to thank all of those who helped in mom's care during the last few years.
Del Oro Caregiving Resources helped me in learning how to take care of Mom and all about the devistating disease of Alzheimer's.
Vitas Hospice. Words can not express the gratitude we have for you all. Kay, Michelle, Joyce, Deanna you are new members of our family. Siena, Rebecca, Elaina and Elise. You ladies came into our home, not knowing us and took care of mom as if she was your own Mom. Again words cannot express the gratiude we have for you. You were all so gentle and kind to Mom even during her not so good days. :) You cared for not only her but my Dad as well. You are forever in our hearts. We love you all so much. We would have never been able to do this without you. I kept my promise to mom that I would keep her home as long as I could. Dad did the same. You made the promise a reality when you gave your care.
Kaier Hospital Dr. Raposa and Nurse Nancy Swenson- thank you for your care of mom all of these years. We are very greatful for you.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
To My Children- Chelsea and Marina. Thank you for allowing me to be with my mom during this time. I know I have missed parts of your life during this time. I am sorry. I hope that I have taught you a lesson of family and love that you will someday be able to reflect on and understand.
To my husband Jim,
Thank you for being there for me during this time. I know it has been difficult for us and for you since you know all too well what I am feeling. Even during your silence I knew you were there.
Thank you
