Our heart felt thanks to Dr. Gase and Staff, Dr. Amin and the caring staff at Volunteers of America – Autumnwood Care Center. Our sister, Terri Drosky, has been a main stay in our lives through these last difficult months. Her tender, loving care and patience helped ease mom into her last good night. We are truly a blessed family. Our heats are broken but we will join both of you in heaven at our time.
