Special thanks to those caregivers at House of Three who loved and cared for him as if he was their own. To Gentiva Hospice, whose guidance and care was more than we could have hoped for. And to “James”, his new found friend who was with him from day one to help him maintain his dignity, and granted him reprieve from the otherwise mundane activities of his daily care plan. He was a special man that lived his life in a way that made others love him and laugh with him. He will be missed.
