Dear Bossie
As you may have heard my mom passed away a few months ago. She died peacefully at home in her own bed. This was her ultimate wish.
There is no doubt that your contribution did also play a role. I want to thank you on behalf of myself, Melanie and Leonard for your kindness and concern.
I did tell my mom about you. Although very frail she remembered the name (Bossie).
Very best wishes.
STEVEN MULLER
A lingering illness is something we all do not wish for – so her passing in peace was a blessing in disguise
Please pass my and the Trusts condolences to the whole family
We are truly honoured to have made a little positive difference before her passing.Kind regards
Bossie
