They helped her and us through this difficult time and for that we are grateful. Our thanks also to Community Health Partnership for all of the services and care they provided. We would also like to thank Dr. Usher from Midelfort Clinic for all the care he gave Mary for many years. She loved teasing and joking with him. Our thanks also to Dr. Nordquist at Luther Hospital.
