Special thank you to our daughter-in-law, Stacy Brock.  Stacy works at Allure Nursing Home.  She had a special bond with Pops, that's what she called him.  She would check on him 2 or 3 times a day, get him ice, pop, or anything he might need.  Just wanted her to know how much he loved her and thank her for loving him back.  We all love you, Stacy.  From Mom.

The family would also like to thank the entire staff at Allure in Geneseo for all of their love, care, and support for Don and family during his tenure there.
