The family wishes to thank her friends and neighbors at Riverview Manor Apartments, those who took special care of her at Heritage Center and those at Cabell Huntington Hospital who cared for her during her last days. Special thanks to her close friend, Gene Waugh, the volunteer staff at the Red Cross, friends from the church, including Rev. Skip Seibel, who visited her and kept her in his prayers.
