The family would like to thank Dr. Wayne Thorne and Karen of the Marshfield Clinic, the doctors and nurses of 8 North and the Palliative Care Unit of St. Joseph Hospital for the care and concern offered to our family and my mother during this journey.
My mom was a very special lady. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for her family. She was my mom, my best friend, my confidant and my shopping buddy in her younger years. She loved daisies, unicorns, looking at clouds, reading her books, praying her rosary and just spending time with us. She will be missed terribly, more than words can say. Love you mom, very much.
