Obituary of Rose Temple ( CARD OF THANKS)

The family of the late Rose Temple would like to send along thanks and appreciation to all the friends and family that came to visit during her stay in the hospital and to everyone who reached out and sent cards, flowers, food, and donations.  

Special thanks to her card ladies. You were all there, near and far, every step of the way. You were her sisters and her heart.

The family would also like to send along thanks and appreciation to all wonderful Nurses (RN, LPN & PCAs) and Student Nurses on the 2^nd floor of Western Memorial Regional Hospital, that helped Rose throughout her stay.
Thank you to the complete staff of the Western Long Term Care Palliative Care Unit (Doctors, Nurses, Social Work, Housekeeping, Dietary). The compassion, support, and care for Rose and our family, from each part of the staff that work on that unit was beyond any expectations. Our family can only hope that anyone in our situation can be so lucky to have this much care for their loved ones, in their final days as our family had.
