We were told often that mom and dad had a true love story. They always told each other what a great family we had. Thanks dad for showing us that our family is a circle of strength and love.
Our family would like to thank Dr. Yetter and Dr. Diaz for the care they gave to Paul and to Nurse Cathy for guiding the family in keeping him home and comfortable.
