Joanie and Kay, we will still talk everyday – it will just be a different line. I will love you both, and Davy, forever.
My family and friends, I would not have been able to do this journey without you. God bless each one of you.
To all staff at Palliative Care you are angels. Thanks for your love, support, and kindness, and old crows, I love you. Volunteers, you added to my care with your smiles and dedication.
Dr. Beck, Dr. Craswell, his secretary and Paula T. – thank you for your response and being there when I couldn’t manage at home. Because of all of you I was able to get through and enjoy the holidays.
May everyone have a wonderful year – no regrets. Make every minute count.
