Mrs. Gressing & Fam.:
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Mr. Gressing was one of the most kindest person's I have met. Always with a smile every morning as I entered to clean his room even though he had no idea who I was. I'll never forget the fishing story I shared with him and at the end of that story he told me "thanks for talking to me". An angel was called up to heaven, to watch over those he loves. Be strong and continue the love for generations to come. (Catherine Soto, NJ Veterans Home Hskpg. Dept.)
