The family would like to thank the caregivers at Vancrest – special nurses, Heidi, Chelsey, Mary and Debbie. To all the wonderful nurses that cared for her, we thank you. We thank the food service workers, the housekeeping crew, and the wonderful physical therapy team. Also thanks to Melinda and Cindy who put some fun and activities in her life and special friend Paula who spent time with and read to her. Thanks to the administrative team who worked with the family to make sure she was getting what she needed. It was always important that her hair was absolutely perfect and we thank Terri Lyn for keeping her beautiful. We also thank “Skipper” (Rich) for keeping everything repaired and in good working order. Special thanks to Vicky Cox who brought out Louise’s desire to sing. Vicky’s ministry allowed Louise to keep a song in her heart. Lastly, special thanks to her special friend and caregiver Max Wagner for tending to the small details and requests that Louise had. We will forever be grateful to all of her caregivers and friends that Louise and her family made at Vancrest.
