We, the family, would like to take the opportunity to thank Sullivan's Funeral Home for their kindness and help during these final preparations. Also our thanks for the amazing staff and care our mother received at Magnolia Place Wellness and Rehabilitation in Jefferson, TX and Heart to Heart Hospice care. Great kindness and care was shown by everyone in these organizations.
