I took care of Mr. Smith at Jonesboro Health Care. He was a sweet and compassionate man when it come to his family. He loved his pictures hung on his wall or door so that he could see them at all times. I often hung them up when he switched rooms.
I had worked with Mr. Hodge at Ridgecrest and he was a very nice man. He will be missed.
