I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Jamie was my very first friend when we lived on Lenora Lane as kids. My Mom was so concerned about me when he went to Kindergarten because I was a year behind him and we played together everyday. She said I would ask for him all day so she put me in nursery school to give her a break. We went to the same schools from Elementary to High School. When he could drive he would give me a ride to school everyday. I am so grateful to God for our friendship and look forward to seeing that amazing smile in Heaven!!!!

My deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Staples. Thanks to his sister trusting me and my staff to take care of him. It was truly a pleasure to have been able to see his smile every morning when I checked in on him.
Sincerely,
Nurse Danielle Unit Manager
