A special thank you to her caretakers Clara & David Miller, who welcomed her into their home. They, along with Emma & Anna Miller gave her their love, care and friendship. They became her second family. Thank you to the exceptional nurses and aides and all of the wonderful Hospice staff for the special care that was given to her during her brief illness. An extra special thank you to Mom's granddaughters for so unselfishly giving of their time in order to provide tender, loving care during her last weeks at home. We could not have done it without all of you!
