Anne’s daughter would like to express her most sincere gratitude to Dr. John, Rhonda Quatrocchi of Serra Manor, the administration nurses and staff for all their love, patience and care they gave her mom.

Ann was extremely feisty when she first moved into assisted living, they had their hands full but she learned to love each and every one of them dearly.
