On July 9, we were told our family member had a liver mass--by August 31, he was gone. On the 31st, we assumed it would probably be his last day. Mary rode home with him in the ambulance. She was kind to him and the family at the house. She waited patiently while we took a few hours to have our final time with him. Then she stopped the meds that were keeping him alive and continued to stay with us to make sure the Morphine and other drugs were keeping his pain controlled so he could relax. You can imagine what an awful day this was for the family, and I am so grateful that she stayed with us extra long to help him and to help us. We wouldn't have gotten through it without her. She is amazing and deserves every word of praise she gets. Thank you, Mary, and I hope God blesses you with a wonderful, healthy, and happy life. We love you for all you did for our family.
