"Part of the obituary was left out. Here is the rest of it: Please consider a donation to https://covid19responsefund.org/ or you could send flowers to the staff at Park River Estates Care Center in her name. Thank you so much to the staff of Park River Estates in Coon Rapids. You made our mother feel loved and supported and you took such great care of her throughout the past 5 years and as she was dying. Please know we appreciate you so much and our thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with this disease in our community. In the words of a song that was very important to my mother and father both (from Amazing Grace): ?Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace.?
