I had the good pleasure of caring for Dalton and Anne for many years as their pharmacist. Never without a kind word or quip of encouragement, thank you both. I´ll see you on the other side Dalton. Anne, I´m sure I´ll run into you one day not too far off. I´m sure you miss him greatly as I do seeing you both.
