It was our pleasure and honor to care for Gerry. She was adored by all of her caregivers and those of us in the office.
We hope that memories of happy times will help to ease the pain of her passing. I know that she expressed to Kristie, one of her caregivers, that she wanted to be with her husband. So, we know she is at peace.
Sincerely –
Kathleen Bailey
