Our father was a man of integrity who walked humbly with his Lord. He prayed daily for his children and for many others. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Rev. 21:4.
Our family would like to thank everyone who gave our father such excellent care. The staff of Park Vista, where he resided for the past four years, Theda Care Hospice, Dr. Daniel Sutton, and his last home, Crossroads Care Center of Crystal River. You all truly took good care of our Dad. Thank you.
