Our sympathy to all of the Naescher family on your loss. Terry and Sue Peters ~ Sue Peters Wall, SD (7/14/2009)
It was an honor caring for your loved one. She was a very determined lady and knew how she wanted things done. I always took this as a blessing, because she could tell the staff what, when and how she wanted to be cared for. She never stopped trying to get better and always looked forward to exercising and participating in all the activities offered at the nursing home. Please know that your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. You have a lifetime of memories to cherish. ~ Carmen Fees - Director of Nursing Philip Health Services.
