This is from Dallas Salisbury and wife Stephanie Ross (a resident at Grand Oaks). Dallas is the person that helped Ben find a compatible printer when his broke not long ago. Dallas was not able to attend the memorial service at Grand Oaks because he was out of town, and thus herein wants to express his deepest condolences. He and Stephanie (who was present at the Grand Oaks memorial service) are grieving. Mark, if you could contact us, we'd like to know where to send a donation in his honor. [email protected]
