Our mother was blessed to have been cared for by many angels in her later years. She grew to love those who cared for her and they became family. We shall forever be thankful to the staff at Bridgeport Health Care and her special girls that always went above and beyond their job to make sure she was happy and cared for. Amedysis Hospice have been wonderful, especially our “Sarah “angels who watched and cared for her as their own mother. Also to those angels that cared for her while she was still able to be at her home and continued to visit her often when she moved to the care facility, Barb Elliot, Nancy Laulis, and Ruth Lanham.
Monica’s greatest joy was found in her kitchen. She loved nothing more than to have a table surrounded by family and friends enjoying her cooking. We take comfort in knowing that she is once again able to cook and bake and perhaps even can peppers.
Family and friends will be received at Burnside Funeral Home, 607 S. Virginia Avenue, Bridgeport on Friday, September 14, from 3-7 pm. Funeral services will be private and held by the family.
