I am really sorry for the loss of Joe. He was a great man. I had the opportunity of taking care of him at Miller's Assisted Living, he was a joy to be around and I would sometimes push him back in his wheelchair after breakfast and he always liked it when I pushed him fast enough he could feel the wind blow his hair. He will be greatly missed but always remembered. Again the Kosh Family is in my thoughts and prayers and I would like to thank you for the opportunity of getting to take care of Joe on the Assisted Living Side of Miller's.
