Dear Gray Family:

I had the privilege of working with A.D. the last few years of his life. I hope I helped to make things a little easier for him. He had a great attitude, was always optimistic and as Brooke Wells likes to say, he always had that "hollywood smile." Take good care A.D. I know your riding those beautiful stallions now.

Dad – I love you dearly and miss you. This quote crossed my path the other day while I was thinking of you – I like to think maybe it was more than a coincidence, maybe it was a little whisper from you. “Keep me as the apple of your eye and the shadow under your wings”. I will keep close the good times we shared and am sending you love and light to be with you on this next journey. Alexa

Alex was a pleasure to work with at the VA! He was part of the Community Residential Care Program and enjoyed going to Denny's for lunch. His caregiver, Lavinia Saddler and daughter Natalie treated him like one of the family. He was very happy in their home and blessed to be in their care. We will miss you Alex!
