     The family would like to thank the empathetic employees at the Paramount Senior Living Center in McMurray where she spent her last days and her wonderful caregivers Elaine and Meghan.  A special thanks to her nephew Dr. Riad Saradar for taking such great care as her doctor before he retired and his wife and her niece Carolyn for taking a loving interest in her health and well-being.
