Viola’s family would like to thank all the wonderful people who came to see her when she was so sick. We also want to thank all the caregivers at the Brownfield Rehab and Care Center who took great care of mom for almost 5 years, and Lynn DeLong with Hospice who was also a blessing from God. These people are truly God’s Angels. The care and love that was shown to mom and her family during this time was appreciated more than anyone will ever know.
