mother at home where she wanted to spend her last days; Betty Whitted,
Home Healthcar Aid, who made Mama laugh and made her "eat", Serena
Benwell, her next door neighbor who came out of nowhere to help us;
Michelle Carson, nurse, who helped tremendously at home; David Fink,
friend and learned to be nurse who also helped tremendously at home and
in the hospital and never left my mother's side and took the last ride
and final ride home with her; and William Lawrence, lifetime friend who
also has been with us on doctor visits and in the home helping us. You
all helped me accomplish the impossible. God put you all in place at the
right time and Mama and I thank you all. A special thanks to Dr. Preston
Judson for his understanding and support to make it happen.
