For the special staff of angels on earth at St. Paul Home, there are no words to express our admiration and gratitude. We wish we could name each of you individually. One, so memorable comment I heard more than once was, “thank you for sharing your mom with us!” After spending the last five days with you day and night, her children realize how much she was loved and cared for and we realize why she hesitated to leave. . . you were truly part of her family. Thank you, and God bless each of you, especially the EverCare Nurses. We know her spirit will be with all of you, so keep the love and laughter flowing. Kudos to Tigger!

We love you Mom and are so honored and blessed to have been a part of you. You have been an inspiration to each of us, and you will be in our hearts forever. Rest in the peace you so deserve. With love and respect, Jean, Judy, Bob, and Suz.
