Also a special thanks to the Paramed staff who appeared several times a day with smiling faces to help with Mom's care while she still lived in Retirement. Mom also had some extra special angels who went well beyond what was required of them and we are so thankful for each one of you. We are extremely grateful to Dr Saurabh Kalra for his kindness and compassion when he stepped in to help Mom at the most vulnerable time of her life. We will be forever thankful for him and his kind staff and residents.
