Whenever one of us would say I love you to Mom she would always say "I loved you first." Without a doubt that will be her legacy, always putting her family first. We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to our friends Jaynie and LT Holmes, Dr. Maury Shulkin at Kaiser, Gigi Cappelletty RN, Nancy, Patty and the entire staff at Hospice by the Bay, who took such loving care of our mother. We are honoring Mom's wish to not have a service. Mom said that she never liked attending funerals, therefore she refused to attend her own. We ask you to hold her close to your hearts and keep her in your prayers. Donations to Hospice by the Bay 190 West Napa Street, Sonoma CA 95476 would be greatly appreciated.
