We would like to thank all of the wonderful caregivers at Elijah’s Place. You made mom’s stay with you awesome. You treated her like she was you own mother. Thank you to St. Croix Hospice for the heartwarming care you provided in her last months.
A huge thank you to my cousin, Jeanie. If it wasn’t for her by my side every step of the way, I don’t know if I would have handled it as good as I have. I love you all!
