Thinking of you and your family! You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you all ❀️

Rest in peace and God πŸ™πŸ’“ bless and strengthen the family

Ernest the bond that I developed with you the past four months really touched my heart. I've never allowed myself to get close to my resident's, but Theresa's something special about you. Losing my dad two yrs ago there was much similarity. You where a gentle giant with a smile that warmed my heart. We laughed together and even danced on good days. Then there where days I wished I understand the sadness in your eyes. I will always remember you singing I love you truly to me if my coworker didn't hear it know one would believe it. Your daughters thanked me for making sure you got the care you deserved, but thank you Ernest I will never forget you. When you parted this life in my presence it left a hole in my heart but your smile was needed else where to bring joy. Love you Ernest. Norma carter/ Activity director pruitthealth
