To the family of Albert (Al) I knew Al during his stay at Brookcrest. What a gental man with a great sense of humor. Almost every dinner time I would help Al arrange his tray the way "he" liked it. Straw in milk please, but don't bend it! He loved his yogert. I'am heppy he was able to move and spend time with his wife before he passed. Rest asured he is no longer suffering and we will all be having dinner with Al, again one day <3 Blessings to all.

Marge: Al was a special man and he never lost his dignity. I enjoyed our short visits and he remained upbeat throughout the entire illness. Now he's whole again with our God. I will call you in a few days. Love, Mary Ann
