I remember Uncle Al loving his garden. I remember spending so much time at Uncle Don and Aunt Thereas for family gatherings. Sending love to all the family. Paulette

I was not lucky enough to meet Mr. Matters. However I could tell he was a good person by the caring son he raised. Im very proud of you Creig.

I have been wracking my brain to find "right" words to say to convey my gratitude to all the Angels who not only took care of but loved my daddy at Cedar Haven Nursing Home. I guess "Thank you from the very bottom of my heart" is the best I can come up with. God bless you all and stay in touch.
Love,
Beverly

I had the great privilege of being one of the many that cared for Allen. He could always brighten our days up. I will never forget all the singing and talking and great times we had with him. He will always be a special memory to me. I'm very sorry for the families loss. He will never be forgotten.

RIP Pappy. I'll never forget my summers spent in PA eating the delicious corn you'd harvest from your garden. That was always one of the things I looked forward to as a child when we'd come home to visit. :) You will be missed.
Where's my ice cream...?

Pamela Berger and all the staff at Cedar Haven made dads last days more enjoyable than words can express. When I would ask him how he was being treated, his simple and direct reply was, "better than I deserve". I have no doubt he loved each and every care provider with all his heart.
Thank you Cedar Haven staff.
