It has only been two weeks since you left us yet it feels like an eternity. You were my best friend and the greatest dad to Tiffany and Michelle. Not a second goes by that you are not in our thoughts and in our hearts. We love you and miss you so much. You are in a better place now and you will be our angel just as you were in life.
Love you and miss you

I was very surprised and saddened by Arnold's passing. I took care of Arnold at the coumadin clinic and was the nurse that taught him, how to use the monitor. He was always special to me, he always asked for me and didnt trust too many answers from other nurses. He is at peace now, as all of us will be someday if we know the saviour, Jesus. I lost a dear friend and pt.
