There are so many people to thank. Dr. Rossouw, you have been our rock. You kept us so well informed on her illness and we knew you were always there. Thank you. The staff at Olive Devaud and Evergreen Extended Care Unit were amazing. They welcomed Mom and loved her. So many hugs over the years. Sunshine Unit we love you all. Thank you. To all our friends and family who supported Mom and us on her long journey, thank you. We would have been lost without you.

Thank you all for loving our Mama.
