The family would like to extend a very special thank you to Dr. Tom Hattan, Donna
Parent, Charge Nurse at Bolster Heights, and also all the Aides and staff at Bolster Heights where she received excellent personal, professional, and quality care. Our gratitude also extends to Hospice and Androscoggin Home Health for their part in caring for Virginia.
