Not sure what to say?

I worked with Vernon as his caregiver at Merrill Gardens and he was hands down my favorite resident there. I made such a strong connection with him. He will forever be missed, and I think about him everyday. He was an amazing man and I miss working with him

Robert and Brenda Thank you for your kind words. The North Bank was my parent's favorite restaurant for many years. Good food and great service brought them much joy.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Gleaves and he was such a kind and caring person. He was a true gentleman and his dedication to fitness amazed me. Robert had the pleasure of serving Mr. and Mrs. Gleaves on a regular basis at the old North Bank restaurant. They dined there frequently and we had the pleasure of joining them on one of those occasions. Mr. Gleaves will be fondly remembered and missed.
