Mike and family,
We were sorry to hear of your mother's death. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Virginia was a resident for 1 month before I became employed there, she actually greeted me at the door and went to get an application. We went through alot in the 8 years that I was her caregiver. The Alzheimer disease slowly changed her abilities over the years but the one constant in her life was her sweet and kind personality. You could always count on a smile from her, no complaints, she always seemed happy. It was a true pleasure to care for her needs and an honor to have known her over the years. She will be greatly missed.
We were truly sorry to hear of Virginia's passing, but she is at peace now. She was indeed a great lady and always had a smile on her face, even after the onset of her illness!! Pete, bless your heart for seeing to it that she was well taken care of. May God comfort you in your loss.
