The Schmit kids (as they are fondly known as) would like to extend a thank you to all of mom's friends and family for their love and support. Busy lives and distance may keep us apart, but when one member of the family is challenged the ties that bind bring us closer together. A special thank you to the staff at Good Shepherd, they were the best and took very good care of us and our mother.
