We were so Blessed with such wonderful Nurses, CNE'S and Caregiver s. Each and every one of you made Mom's five-year stay so much easier f or all of us and we know how much she loved each and every one of you. Al so a special Thank You to Dr. Jack Anderson for your wonderful care and co ncern.A thief, dementia, came awhile back and slowly took our Mother away. At fi rst we hardly noticed and sometimes joked about what life can bring. Mom t ried her best with what she had and only the Lord knows we did too, but t he thief just took control and stole each bit of her we knew. Now the batt le's over and Mom's at rest. God made the thief give back to us the Moth er we had known. You will be missed very much by all of us.
Love Bonnie, Lois & Dick
