I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I have lived across the hall from him for 10 yrs now. He was always very friendly and we would talk often.

To Lisa and Tammy: My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your "litle ones" we had the privelege of meeting as you came to visit your Dad at Ebeid. He was such a special man and had so many stories to share. I know that the staff at Ebeid misses his company and his willingness to share his wit and wisdom with all of us. Take care and keep him in your hearts forever, and he will always remain with you. Sincerely, Jan RN
