You will never be forgotten Joey. So much of yourself was given in service of your fellow Veterans that it is only right your name and memory will be forever displayed in the soon to be dedicated Healing Garden in the hospital atrium. This is a testimony to your care and dedication to all those you comforted and supported as a Patient's Advocate while at the Seattle VA. You fought for all those who could not do it themselves. You are greatly missed.
