The family extends their heartfelt and eternal gratitude to Reflections Hospice for their compassionate care during Nancy's final days. 

The family is so grateful for your thoughtfulness but in lieu of food, the family requests that remembrances be made in the form of personal reflections and memories, as no one will be present at the home.
