The family would like to express their appreciation to Brittany and Jennifer of Gentiva Hospice for their kind and respectful care of our mother during the days before her passing. Also, many thanks to Connie Vandenbosch, who originally came to clean house, but very generously stepped in to care for Mom when the need arose. Thank you to our friend, Jean Rowe, who responded to our need for help during the last several weeks of Mom's life. And to the whole church family at University Church, so much gratitude for all the meals, the prayers, the encouragement and love continuously shown to us.
