The family of Joan (Scallatino) Jones wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dan Sabatino and John Benjamin for your kindness and help looking after Mom. To the staff at Palm Gardens, mom loved it there; it was her home. She made a lot of friends and was very much the social butterfly. She had many activities and enjoyed her stay there. Also, we would like to thank Hospice Legacy House for their kindness and compassion in mom’s final hours.
