The family would like to thank Drs. Hupp and Wojdyla, the nurses and staff at St. Mary's hospital, the hospice care workers that helped make her journey as pleasant as possible. We love you so very much mom, and miss you more than you can ever imagine. Thank you for all you did, and all the laughs we had. She expressed regret that she didn't have anything to leave her children, but she did leave us this most precious gift of all, her love…
