We are grateful for the care and concern provided at Westwind House, especially to Maria and Elva. Armada Hospice Care and Footprints Staffing provided 24 hour care for Mom with much compassion . Dr. Patrick Rivera was her gracious primary care provider. The doctors and nurses at Presbyterian Unit 4 C went above and beyond easing her safe discharge home.

Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of her life will take place at a later date given the COVID crisis.

Mom, In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one will ever fill.
