Dad did not want visiting hours or a service, but would recommend that you take that hike, see where that old dirt road goes, and sit by the river and fish a while. Many thanks to NWMC and the professionalism, caring, and kindness of all the nurses and doctors (Amy, Josh, Ben and so many more) and to the patient sitters that made his final days comfortable and pain-free.
