The family would like to recognize Cornerstone Hospice for their care and compassion towards Mom. In particular, we would like to recognize her angels: Kendall, Amanda, Christine and Sue. Also, the wonderful nurses at Cornerstone Hospice House. They provided comfort to all of us as Mom ended her earthly journey.
