Our special thanks go out to a very important person, Denise Helbing. She became dad’s “other daughter” over the years and a special family friend whose love and support will never ever be forgotten. Thanks also to ThedaCare Hospice, especially Ashley, dad’s nurse, and to Comfort Keepers, Natalie, who got everything set up and our caregivers Yacouba (Jacob), Alexa and MiKayla. The kindness, compassion, and skill we were shown allowed us to keep dad home.
