The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Steven Hagen, AMC nurses and a special thanks to Dr. Swanson and the hospice staff. Their special concerns and care went above and beyond our expectations.
A golden heart
stopped beating.
Hard working
hands to rest.
God broke our
hearts to prove us
He only takes the best.
