I loved taking care of this man and his wife. I was with him when she passed I suited him up for her. He was so handsome and the first valentine's day he spent without edie I asked him if he'd be my valentine and he said yes. I just found out today that he's no longer with us. If Robert or Thomas or the girls see this-Felicia sends her deepest thoughts and prayers. He was my heart and I will cherish the time I had with him. He loved talking to me about everything even Mrs edie and I loved talking to him and taking my daughter in to see him.
