Not sure what to say?

I really enjoyed being able to care for Mr. Giordano. I will always remember him. If you ever come back this way please stop by 4C and visit.

I did not know Tony very well, but I have gotten to know you, Viola, since Josh had become a part of your family. Josh and Evan have been friends for many years and he feels like one of my children. Josh was a very fortunate to be wanted and loved by such loving people. Our heart goes out to you and your family. Just remember he is in no more pain. If I can do anything, please give me a call. May God bless you and your family!
