We would like to thank all the great nurses and LPNs of Miner's Lane for all the great care and kindness that you have shown mom; she thought the world of you all. We know she's dancing up a storm with that big smile and the big bellowing laugh that we all loved and cherished. "We love you mom, you will be in our thoughts the rest of our days." There will be no visitation/graveside service as per mom's request. She wanted everyone to remember her at a party, which will be held at a later date.
