The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the staff at St. Mary Hospital in Green Bay for the wonderful care you extended to all of us while mom was a patient. And for those of you who took care of mom at Manor Care West for the past six years: You cared for her as though she was your very own; she could have been in no better hands. Thank you so much.
