My Uncle Maurice was one of the kindest and sweetest men I ever knew. I never knew him to do an unkind thing. I loved him very much and am sad I didn't get to be with his family when he died. They were all so good to be with us when our Mama, Maurice's sister, died in 2006. It meant so much for them to come. I know you will miss your Dad and will never stop missing him. No matter how old they get, we're never quite ready to give them up. But he's in a better place now and one day we will be there too, if we just hold to Jesus Hand. Love to each of you, your cousin Jo Anne

Dear Beverly and family,

I was so honored to be able to take care of Mr. McCauley this past year. I grew to love this man very much. He held a very special place in my heart and I will always smile when I think of him. He could be a real grouch, but I knew he really wasn't. He was a very sweet and kind man with a big heart of gold. I will be calling you Beverly to check on you like I told him I would.
Love,

Debbie Westbrook, RN
