Finally, we would like to “shout out” our sister Rita’s name for the single-minded devotion with which she provided primary care for our mother. Rita was our mother’s bedrock on which the foundation of our mothers care was built and enabled her to live out her final years in dignity and in accordance with her wishes. For this we are all grateful.
