A Grateful Family Writes ~
A grateful family writes ~
"There is not another hospital in this world
that treats a dying patient and family
with the care, love and compassion that you all
exhibited with mom and with us.
This very difficult time for our family was made
more tolerable by each and every one of you at
Grace Cottage. Thank you for your tender loving
care for Mother. Thank you all for feeding
us, cleaning up after us, and being there for us to
cry, laugh and share memories with."
Sincerely,
The family of Mabel Wright
