Panguitch, UT 84759 Maurine’s family would like to thank the staff and caregivers at the Legacy House located at N. Durango in Las Vegas NV, and her team of nurses from Brighton Hospice for all their support and the loving care they gave to Maurine and our family. The phrase “Love one another” is so wise and powerful. By loving one another, we invest in each other and ourselves. Perhaps someday, when we need someone to care for us, it may not come from the person we expect, but from the person we least expect. God bless our caregivers and nurses. We love you, the Skougard Family.
