The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the caregivers of Teays Valley Center and Hospice for their exceptional care of our father. Their kindness and support has helped ease our hurt and grief. A special thanks to Robert Childers, (Dad’s roommate at Teays) for “looking out” for our father.
