So sorry to hear about Mr. Alex. All the girls at Central Drug Store loved when he brought us flowers to enjoy! He gave me a piece of his Dogwood tree to plant at my house! I will always think of him when I look at it and smell it!

Mr. Harrison never visited Harvest Manor without delivering me or one of the other girls fresh hand picked flowers. He was such a joy to see. I have very fond memories of his visits.

I'll always remember him out in the garden when I would visit Michele. He was always the nicest man and would stop and talk no matter what. I will miss his friendly smile. Warm hugs and love to the family <3 - Karen Patriquin Guest
