Moments of Grace & Blessings

 


My motto has always been and always will be -

" You are never beat until you quit... and I do not quit or give up!"


This is my way of thanking people for being there for me.

Doctors who went out of their way to help me, save me, and find out how to give

me the quality of life I desired.

I am sure I will miss many doctors, nurses, and so many others in the medical field 

who contributed to my being here today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.


Dr. Daniel Alsup - Who time and time again through so many challenges gave me

truth, honesty and was there for me when I was fighting a battle with something we 

did not know anything about.


Dr. Kraig White - For all the hours and after hours, and time and energy you put into finding out.

why my body does what it does and for just caring enough to research to save me.


Dr. Gary Goucher - 

We were not always on the same path, but I trusted you, your judgement.

You literally saved me a few times from the brink of death and masterfully.

brought me back to my family.  You didn't give up on me even when others.

thought there was no hope. 

Respect, love,


Dr. Jean Mcguire - I do not know what to say other then I admire you, respect you and trust you.

I have always felt through my battles you were there helping me conquer them.

I do not have words enough to tell you how much it has meant to me.


Dr. Ann Torkelson and the staff at IHC Pulmonology Clinic at LDS Hosptial.

The battle continues and will for the rest of my life, but knowing I have your team.

means 

I know where to turn and how to understand what is happening to me and how

to make the best of it. 

You have fought the fight and continue to do so, I will always trust

whatever you feel is best for me.


 Dr. Blake Welling - 

My neck and back would not be what it is today without your brilliance and masterful hands.

I appreciate all you have done for me!


Dr. Juan Fuentes - 

You have saved me literally from complete ruin so many times and helped me find the 

right surgeons and people who could fix what was broken. 

You treated myself, my daughter and mother. 

I will always adore you.


Dr. Ann Lapolla

So many times, I thought I couldn't make it one more day, you helped me find my life

my strength, and to realize I am tougher than I think. 

You seemed to always know what was right for me.


Dr. James Fennell

The man my children and grandchildren adore.

You helped my children and myself and now you help my granddaughter.

You are a part of our family always. 


The respiratory therapists so many to try to remember.

Daryl, and Rob and all the crew at Mckay Dee Hospital and IHC hospital

You brought me back from the brink, educated me and cared. 

Breathe in, and breathe out right?


There were moments many times when myself and my doctors etc thought it would. 

not be much longer I would be here. But through persistence, prayer, research, and 

everyone together I am here. I am a mother and grandmother and love my life.

All my love, respect and admiration always and forever

A new seat is required, new padding, new fabric, a leg is cracked almost split up the leg so he makes a note of this, he knows hours of sanding and staining will be required. The supplies he locates and starts searching for the perfect stain, he wants the chair to look like it...

We learn as we grow that some dreams come true without much effort, others fail after we have tried and done all we can. We are hurt by those we love, let down, we hurt those we love, we let them down. Life is about a series of hellos and goodbyes.
