Our heartfelt thank you to Lina and Victoria Trim. You went beyond the call of caretaker and have become family. Your care and dedication have meant that Liduina could stay at home with family which has meant the world to all of us. We are so very grateful to you – far more so than words will ever be able to express.
We would also like to extend our thanks and gratitude to Kelly and the rest of the staff of Innisfree House. Your care and compassion during Liduina's final days were of great comfort not only to her, but our family as well.
As expressions of sympathy, donations made in Liduina’s memory to Innisfree House or the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated.
