Our family would like to thank Vitas Hospice (especially Nurse Wanita, Social worker Catherine, Nurse Emerson, Nurse Jamie and CNA Stephanie) for their compassion, concern and availability through Anita’s journey. Thanks also to Parker Nursing and Rehabilitation (especially Nurse Beverly, CNA Tammy, Admin Brad and her special friend Krista who Anita loved to give treats too). Her former coworkers at Parker made her feel right at home during the last 2 months of her illness and her family can’t thank you enough. Anita was also very fond of the staff at Streator Radiation Oncology (Dr. O and all his wonderful staff). She said they didn’t even know me but were always so nice and even hugged be a lot. We’d also like to thank Dr. Ryan Tremb and his staff at OSF Medical Group Ottawa. Other thanks to Dr. Khan at OSF Cancer Center in Rockford, IL. and to Dr. Kullberg of Rockford Pulmonology. Anita encountered so many medical professions on her journey that showed her so much love and compassion.
