My mother is a resident of the Stars & Stripes unit at the Veterans Home in Menlo Park. I usually visit from dinner time to bedtime, and so I was lucky enough to spend many evenings with your mother. She was the living symbol of everything we think of when we say the word, "nurse". She had a very caring, calm, and capable way of dealing with "her" residents, and she truly knew and cared about them. We talked a lot about her plans for retirement, and I know how much she was looking forward to spending more time with her family. Cookie was a special person who treated my mother (and all of her patients) very well. I am thankful to have had her as one of my mother's caregivers. You have my deepest sympathy.
