The family of the late Elizabeth "Betty" Payne would like to send along their most sincere gratitude for the support received during this most difficult time. The messages, prayers, food, visits and calls were appreciated and gave strength when it was needed most. To all who attended Country Haven to pay their respects, share a memory and offered condolences, we want to thank you. We would also like to send our thanks to the doctors, nurses and hospital staff at WMRH who did their best to provide care to our wife/mother/Grandmom during her time on the 4th, 5th, 6th floors and her final placement in Palliative care. Your compassion, patience and attention was helpful as we maneuvered changes and allowed us to know that we were heard and the best care was provided. A final thank you to the staff at Country Haven who guided us through the process of making final arrangements with kindness and warmth.
