Special thanks to Charlotte, Carol and Ron, Jane and Steve for taking her to church for so many years. Thanks to Dr. Gushue for her constant support, Dr. Lataferti for making her feel “like a million bucks.” Thank-you to the Androscoggin Home Hospice for their compassionate staff, especially Tammy and Alice, and thanks to Nancy and Bill for their loving support.
