The family would like to express a heartfelt “thank you” to the following; you all made a difference in caring for our loved one.
First, to Amedisys Hospice for their love and compassion showed to our mother while in their care. They treated her with respect. Next, to the ladies at Compass Bank in Muscle Shoals for all their help and understanding. Also, to the people at Walgreens in Muscle Shoals who were so considerate and helpful. Finally, we would like to thank the ladies at “Heart Warming Care” (Kay Dunlap, owner). They always came on a minute’s notice.
