My prayers are with Robin and the Gibson family. Almost daily I remembered Bay as we called him coming to visit his wife. He would always thank the staff for everything that we do and had something for the staff and other Residents. He became as we would say part of the family. May God bring comfort and great memories to the family. Blessing and love. Polly McNeil
