Mother had great nursing care and loved each of you. We would also like to thank her doctors, Dr. Mary Lawrence and Dr. CV. Mother always had a smile for everyone, but especially for Dr. CV. She always gave him a huge hug when she saw him and before he left her side. She loved you, Dr. CV, and the family thanks you for loving her as well.
