"Paula, just thought I would let you know that my dad took his last breath on the 18th and I can't thank you enough for everything you did for my family. My mom was able to keep my father at home the entire time of dealing with his Parkinson's and dementia. Your assistance with our family was priceless … we are blessed to have found you." - Jeff
