I took care of Mr. Mcvey at Alderwood Manor for a short time. He was a sweet man and so was his family - I wish to extend my sympathy to his family.

I want to extend my sympathy to your loss. Doc McVey assisted my family thru his dental practice on several occassions. In fact I still have a front tooth crown that he installed 45 years ago. Blessings, Mike and Colleen Schmidt
