My Name is Alyssa.
I had the privilege of taking care of John at Avista Senior Living before I quit. Didn't know that he had sadly passed away, found out recently . I remember alot about him. How he wanted baths and not showers, how he was very specific about how he liked his new room. So many other things. He was a very Interesting man. But I know where he is at and I can't wait to see him again some day. John it was a honor to know you the short time I did. To his family , my sincere condolences, please hold on to the fond memories you have him. - Alyssa
