death by her daughter Nancy Williamson in 2002, and her two
brothers and three sisters; she was Nana to twelve and great
grandmother to eighteen. Our mother was one of the most honest
people you could ever meet. We loved and admired her for the person
she was. She was sharp as a tack to the very end. Family was the
most important thing to her; she was the glue that held our family
together. The family would like to thank Dr. Glodowski and his
nurse Karen for the loving care of their mother through the years;
and Dr. Delorfice and the wonderful staff at Palliative Care for
the loving care she received. Friends were invited to attend a
