Life has ups and downs,
Laughter and tears.

Stormy and calm.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. Dave was my Dad’s roommate at Ridgewood. Dave was a very pleasant man and my Dad liked him a lot in the short time they got to know each other. When Dave was all healed up and got the word he could go home, Dad said, “ Dave is going home today, I’m going to miss him!” Now they will meet up in heaven cause my Dad (LaNay) passed in March of 2019.
