I will truely miss Duane. He always had a way to make me laugh even when I was down. He would provide nurses and aides with food and sodas whenever needed. He would always help us with whatever we needed. He was truely a great person. I pray for his family and that the peace of God is with them. I will miss him dearly. He was a person who cared more about others then himself, he was an assest to the facility. I will always love and miss him. May God give everyone peace knowing he is no longer in pain. It was a true gift to be part of his life. Ruth Gonzalez RN
