A special thanks from the family is given to Bob Van Ooyen of Menasha for many years of special attention, love and concern for Arlene. You made her years worthwhile.
The family would also like to personally thank the very dedicated Kaukauna personnel at the St. Paul's Assisted Living Villa in addition to the St. Paul's Nursing Home - Appletree Court facility for Dementia and Hospice Care. Everyone always gave 200 % to make Arlene's 3 ½ year stay enjoyable, friendly and caring. Words cannot express the gratitude the family feels for everything St. Paul's did to make Arlene's last years in life meaningful. The family heard many times from the staff, "Thanks for sharing your mom with us." If there are angels on earth, many are there at St. Paul's. Thank you again.
A special thank you to Dr. Merici Awe at the Kaukauna Clinic, and her staff, for the many times Arlene received that extra special treatment. Especially noteworthy was the willingness to always give her as much time and attention as needed. You always made her feel special.
