The family would like to thank Liz Wilson, Director, and the entire staff of Angelus Retirement Community, together with the Monroe Clinic Hospice Staff for the loving care they gave Norma.
Finally, our deepest appreciation and gratitude to a very special lady and dear friend, Joyce Mau, for all that she did for Mom.
