Published in the Chicago Tribune:

"Like letter writer Kathleen Melia ('Final kindness to my dying dad,' June 18), my sister was cared for in her dying days by angels here on earth. Julie had Down syndrome and lived at home for 30 years and at Misericordia Home for 30 years. She certainly outlived her original life expectancy of 12 years with a full life!

During her last years with Alzheimer’s, we were blessed with Misericordia’s foresight to provide a continuum of care for its residents and the most amazing caretakers. Not only were these loving women with us all along the journey of Julie’s death, but after she passed, they had us leave the room, and they changed her from her pajamas to a beautiful white top and folded her arms across her chest. She looked so peaceful."
