We would like to thank his cousin Sheila for always watching out and making sure he made it to his appointments on time.

We sincerely thank Twin Ports Health Services for their dedication, compassion and care of David; especially Shelly whom he affectionately called the Boss Lady. They made his wish to be home on his birthday come true.
