It was a pleasure to take care of Mr. John at the Community Hospice House. We sat together holding hands and talking everything he could think of. Then he would fall asleep in the middle of a conversation and wake up and start another one. He was so adorable and loving. Thank you for sharing your love one with me. I truly enjoyed him. My prayers are with you and your family.
