Hello to Wallace's family,
I was one of many who "sat" with Wallace during his time in the hospital. A few days before he left the hospital, he took my hand and patted it then he gently patted me on the back. He whispered to me, "Glad you are here." That really touched me and I could see what a kind heart he truly had. Just thought I would share this with his family. I understand what you are going through since I lost my own father two years ago at about this time. May God give you great comfort!
Blessings and love,
Holly Orban, Certified Nursing Asst.
