My thoughts and prayers are with you

Wendy. And Kaitz, I truly believe that growin' up you had one of the best relationships I know between a grandfather and granddaughter. A little girl followin' an old guy with a rake! You must of spent hours in that garden following him around. I really believe people don't really die...they live in the memories and hearts of others...and you have such good ones. love, bob

To the Hawes Family,

The best to all of you. I stopped by Cape Heritage 2 weeks ago and saw Richard. He looked clean, safe, and comfortable.

God love you all, Patti "Cookie" Sundelin VNA CHHA.
