The family would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff and residents of Hickory Valley Retirement Community for their love, support and caring during mother's final years. Two years ago God sent two special Angels into our lives to care for mother. These Angels loved and comforted Mother during the grieving process of Dad's passing and then Mother's failing health. With each passing day Mother encountered hurdles to overcome and these Angels helped her to navigate life and the healing process. Thank you to these two special Angels and May God Bless you both, B. J. Boyd and Genevieve DeHoog
