In her final months our mom experienced several heart breaking health issues. She was cared for during these difficult times by her four daughters and a wonderful team of caregivers. We will be eternally grateful to these four angels; Terri, Barbara, Lilah and Carrie.

We also wish to recognize the amazing support the VNA Hospice Team provided during the last days of our mother's life.
