You were awesome ! I loved taking care of you! Sorry we never made it to the ground hog party in Pennsylvania ! Prairie rose missed you but I was so happy you got to go home
I met Philip when my mother was in rehab at Hillsboro Rehab and Health Care. and was saddened to hear of his passing. I was so impressed by his kindness to all. He was such a gentle soul and will be missed.
