The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the nurses at Parkside Care Center. Your care, love and compassion were so evident during mothers stay. Thank you for making Parkside “her home” during her final days. Special thank you to Fr. Dave Hoffman, Deacon Don, the pastoral staff from St. John Catholic Church, Little Chute and to Dr. Richter. Also, Erv DeBruin and Fran Kempen for all his jokes which really made her day.
