To Mr. Walsh and his family.....
I want you all to know that I feel so honored to have had the privilage to be your Father/Grandads therapist, he always made my day with his jokes and his funny sayings. When I would come into his room the first thing that he would say..Have no fear Janie is here! He put a smile on my face. And I know that he was in heaven an hour before the devil knew he was gone:) He created a awesome family I love you all, Jane
