The family would like to thank all the caregivers at Maple Lane and hospice for helping Mary’s final days be with little or no pain and for all the beautiful flowers which brightened up her room. A special thank you to the Peace United Church of Christ quilters for the gorgeous quilt, which was presented to Mary by Sue Rindt, as well as Pastor Marty Black for all her kindness and time she spent with her. When the end became near, Pam and John Meyer came to spend time with Mary and my neighbor, Laverna Barrick, came up and sat with me so I wasn’t alone. Also a special thank you to all my other neighbors who came together to support me day after day.

Many thanks,

Myrtle
