The children of Miriam would like to take the opportunity to say a very special thank you to Dr. Michele McKeough for the many years he has looked after both of our parents; we are forever grateful. We would also like to thank the Palliative Care staff who looked after Mom, both at home and the CBRH. Last but certainly not least, we owe a great debt to the ladies from Home Care who looked after Mom’s everyday needs for the past years; it made a world of difference in her quality of life.
