The family is truly grateful for the compassionate team at St. Anne’s Providence Court first floor, for the feeling of home they provided her since 2019. Whenever we left, we knew she was in the right hands. The family also deeply appreciated the total commitment provided by Allie’s team from St. Croix Hospice, the last 6 weeks.  We could not have supported her without all their help. Memorials to St. Anne’s Salvatorian Campus or St. Croix Hospice appreciated.
