We would like to thank the employees at Country Pines Assisted Living Center where she has lived for the past seven years. She loved living there and your kindness and patience is a testament to the wonderful friends that she was surrounded by for those 7 years. That means a lot to us as a family and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our thanks go to Health Watch. Mom loved you girls and we appreciate your love and patience while caring for her. Also the staff at Ogden Regional Hospital who helped to keep her comfortable in her last hours. Thank you is not enough, but Thank You.

We love you Mom and are so happy that you are finally free of your body that was in so much pain and that you are able to join Dad and Drew and other friends and loved ones waiting for you on the other side. WE HOPE YOU DANCE!
