Dear Gallicchio Family,
My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one, Betty. I had the privelege of knowing her and working with her as a physical therapist at the Laurels. She was a determined woman who always tried her best when things were physically challenging. She worked hard at her therapy and was always positive about her situation. She was always polite and pleasant to everyone. She would say thank you for everything. It was so nice of you to mention Tricia's care- Betty had the BEST care by the BEST aide. Tricia treated Betty like a queen. Tricia genuinely loved Betty and taking care of her. Betty appreciated all that was done for her. Betty will be missed by all at the Laurels. We were privleged to have known her.
Sincerely,
Pat Huddle and the Therapy Department
