Wendy, Tammy, and Kimberly,
Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of caring for your father. Although I only knew Jim a few weeks, I enjoyed the time that we spent together. Although he was not feeling well, he was always such a pleasant and thoughtful person. He always thanked me for my visit and told me how appreciative he was. I will surely miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you! Shirley Baker, Compassionate Care Hospice

Uncle "Jimmy" loved to eat Joe's home-made soup and he enjoyed the way Joe always picked on him. He always had a good story to share with us from his past. We will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers to all of you.
