The Fink family would like to extend a special thank you to the caregivers at Helen’s House, especially Kelli, Leanne, Sarah and Angela, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Bayer and to ThedaCare at Home Hospice for the compassionate service.

Mom was a very special lady and always full of surprises. Although she suffered from Alzheimer’s last week she was able to recite the Our Father and sing “You are my sunshine”. 

We will always love you Mom!
