Debbie and family,
Our hearts go out to all of you on the passing of your Nanny. We know your heart aches now, but she was a blessed woman to have a wonderful loving family that was always there for her, right up to the end. I am sure she is looking down at all of you with that loving smile and whispering “I’m at peace now, I am home!”
Love,
Linda and the entire staff

Blessings to family members and sympathy to all. You all took such good care of Aunt Loretta, in her helpless days of transition with this disease. At Peace now and with Uncle Harry she left many memories for all of us to reminisce during these Good-Bye days. Love Jeanne
