Larry, I watched the tender loving care you gave your father at White Oaks. I'm sure your regular after-school visits were very important in his life. I'm glad Gene was able to play in the "band" at the picnic. I send you and your family my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Judy Halseth
daughter of a Hawthorn Hall resident
