Sherri, Our cousin, Linda called to let me know of your father's passing. I am so sorry to hear this, but like it was with my parents, he is no longer suffering. Prayers and thoughts be with you, Jane Ellen and your Aunt Irma. With Christian love.

Sherri,

I was saddened to learn of your dad's passing. I really enjoyed his sense of humor when he and my dad were roomates at Hanover Health Care. My dad loved talking with Odie and he helped make my dad's stay at Hanover an enjoyable one.
