Hugh will be missed dearly here at the Windsor. We had coffee in the morning together frequently. He would tell me a story or I would share one with him. He was the bright part of my morning. As I would return and visit Reflections throughout the day he was always the first to smile. I loved to see and hear him laugh. He would sing with Jivka each day.
The loss is felt deeply and can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope here with the wonderful times we had with him. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to get to know Hugh and your family. We will be remembering you and Hugh today and always.
