Galah and family were grateful for everyone who helped her in the last few months; Klondike Place staff, Klondike Place Homecare nurses, friends in Klondike Place, those who cared for her in the short time at her new home Shepherd's Care. She could not have made this journey in Comfort and Peace without the caring aid of Dr. Krantz, her family Doctor, Dr. Bernes and Dr. Visser, the staff at the Barrhead Clinic, Barrhead EMT and transfer staff, the Barrhead ER staff and lab technicians, the critcal care ward nurses and staff who were so compassionate and caring for Galah and family.
