Special thanks to Kettering Medical Center SICU for the exceptional care given to our mother and to everyone who visited and called with encouragement and prayers during this time.

Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on, and
Cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone.
Those we love are never more than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory, they will live on in the heart.
