We wanted to acknowledge his granddaughters, Kristen & Jenni and their families for spending his last days around the clock with him. They always brought a smile to his face and were able to make him laugh even during his last days. Also thank you to Manor Care and the nurses that showed such kindness to us during our fathers last days. We are truly grateful.
