I am thankful for my family, amazing neighbors and caretakers, friends, church buddies, prayer warriors, former co-workers, shoppers, doctors, hospice staff, and all those who made this journey so much more bearable. You prayed, gave, called, and made sure that I was looked after physically, mentally emotionally, and spiritually. Please friends, continue your acts of kindness to those who are in need. Your efforts may seem incidental but could make someone’s time here on earth just a bit more special. Mary-D
