Special thanks to her caregiver who provided exceptional care to her for the last year and a half of her life. Also thanks to Hospice of Louisiana who most recently helped us care for her. She was a graduate of Sacred Heart High school, a true Saints fan and “one tough lady” in handling whatever life through her way.
