We would like to extend our appreciation to all the staff who treated our father like family while he resided at St. Peter’s Place and at Artisan Living here in Fond du Lac. Their extra care and attention meant so much to us. Thanks also to Agnesian Hospice, who assisted with great kindness and skill in dad’s final weeks.
