Bob had expressed, when the time came, his desire to be taken care of by you. He jokingly said if they tried to take him anyplace else, he would get up and walk away. We had no idea we would be needing you so soon. He looked so handsome and natural, which was a great comfort to us as a family. My little grandchildren wanted grandpa to "wake up1, he looked so natural to them. The personal touches you added were a great comfort to us also. You were genuinely concerned for each of us. The little details you took care of for us helped sc much. We have known the McDougals for many years and the thing that impresses me most is the true love and concern you have for others You are truly gentlemen, and always very genuine. Please convey our families love to your father, Dave & to Richard. They better net try to take me anyplace else either.
