Even while coping with severe dementia, she considered herself to be very lucky.A special thanks goes to the staff at Gorham House who have taken such good care of her for the past 14 years. When asked, she always had “no complaints” and particularly enjoyed the good food! But more recently she wanted to “go home” and we all take comfort that she is now there. There will be no funeral service. A family gathering will take place at some later date.
