Delia Flores went to be with our Lord on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at the age of 97. She passed away peacefully at Songbird Lodge. I would like to thank all the nurses and all the staff at Songbird Lodge for being kind to her and taking care of all her needs. Special thanks to Pam Woodcock and Jeni Rinehart for their loving and compassionate care and making my mom feel so special and loved. And Ashton, who consistently sought solutions to ensure the safety and comfort for my mom. Also, night nurses Jamie and Cody for watching over her in the quiet of the night, making sure she would rest calmly. She had wonderful nurses and aides helping her around the clock.
