Thank you to the Veterans Community Living Center and the Veterans Hospice team, There are too many nurses and patient care members to name. However, thank you for taking care of our daddy and allowing him to hoard snacks, juices, bananas, chips, apples, and especially his peanut butter crackers. You never lost him thanks to his chip crumb trail only later to find in the corner of the dining hall.
