What families are saying

Thanks everyone of you, all that have cared and looked after Glenys over the past 10years. For your Loyal staff nurses that kept me in contact with her health happenings especially over the past 2 years that I didn't get to see her. Glenys appreciated your care and company over this time. I also appreciated the doctors from Bendigo for the information over her final few days and keeping her comfortable. All the very best to you all in appreciation.
