A special thank you to all the caregivers Yvonne has had over the last few years, especially Betty Williams who has taken care of her day and night for the last few months. We could not have done it without her. Dr. Paola Bass is amazing and has been by our side through this whole process. Also thank you to the wonderful nurses and aides from Dayspring Hospice.
