Visiting nurses are saints, I endured many surgeries resulting in every complication you imagine. They never gave up and came up with solution after solution. At last from 2013-2019 we got it right. Thanks to all the nurses that had to put up with me. Lisa

On April 11th my adoptive mother, Mary Reny, passed away. I sat by her bedside for 7 days and was unsure that I had the strength to do it. Because of the amazing support from Marcella Nardone, I did. I want to Thank her from the bottom of my heart for the love and compassion she showed not only to Mumma but to all of us! I have said this many times and will say until I no longer have breath; If there are angels here on earth, Marcella is one of them! The community is beyond fortunate to have her! Thank you doesn't seem enough.
