Guestbook

  1. Mr Allen was a great person. He always may me feel as though my job as a nurse was worth doing. We cried together! He told me stories of why he thought everything was a bunch of crap for us putting the boot on him and the bed and everything else but then he always thanked us for what we did. I was an honor to care for such a man! He will be missed. Not a day will go by that I dont look to hear him or go see him in his room! RIP JP
