A heartfelt and special thank you to Dr. Swanson and his staff at A.M.C., especially Mary Jo, and to Chaplain Jordan Kuczwara for giving Mom and "Pa" comfort, peace and laughter through Mom's journey and to the entire hospice organization, especially Mary, for making it possible for Mom to live fully to her last moment with us.
