The family would like to thank the wonderful staffs at St. Luke's Hospital and Oncology Alliance for their kind and compassionate care during this difficult time. A special thank you to neighbor Kathy Jackson and Dr. Robert Taylor. Thank you for showing all of us the true meaning of family and how to be hopeful and brave. Until we meet again may the Lord hold you in the hollow of His hand.
