My heart goes out to your family for your loss. I have to tell you what an impact he as well as your family had on my life as well as my career as a nurse. His sweetheart smile and big brown eyes always made each of my days better. Your familys love and devotion to him and each other was admirable. He's very lucky to have had all of that in his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and may he be at peace.

Love, Kylee R.N.
