A special thank you to Mom’s live-in caregiver, Mariami Tatelishvili, for her hard work, constant dedication and love to our mother for the past three years.  She has become Mom’s fifth daughter and a sister to us.  We are so grateful to her and believe that she is the one who has given Mom the extended time here.
