A sincere “Thank You” to The Pavilion at Glacier Valley and staff. Cher was one of mom’s care takers and was very tender and sweet with mom the way anyone would like their loved ones to be cared for.

Also, Donnette of Compassionate Care Hospice was delightful to hear from on any progress or battles that mom endured while she was waiting to be taken from us and to follow the path up to be with her beloved husband. Thank you for all that you did for our mother and for being at her side when she passed so that she wasn’t alone.

“Rest Now Mom. We Love You!”
