The family would like to sincerely thank Grandview Nursing Home Staff for their loving care given to Mother over the past 19 months. This facility truly is a home away from home and a wonderful place to meet people who care sincerely for others and their needs. Dr. Dixon has been more than Mother’s Physician. He has personally encouraged and treated Mother with dignity and patience that is almost unheard of today. We deeply say, “thank you.”
Expressions of sympathy are suggested to Knifley Christian Church, 7710 Elkhorn Rd., Knifley, KY 42753.
