The family would like to thank the staff at Twin Ports Health Services for the care Jim received while residing in what became his "home". Words are not enough to express how each of you went from being the staff to being his family. Each time a member of the staff left his room and the words "I love you" were said, it was meant with true love and care for not only Jim but the entire family. Thank you all for the amazing work that you do... We love you. Thank you, April Willett, for being his adopted granddaughter and guardian angel.
