"I had the honor of caring for Milton his last years of his life. He was a wonderful man, kind, patient, and had very a comforting persona about him. I always enjoyed our visits in the clinic and hospital. He never complained and was always stoic even when his sickness was overwhelming. He was content in life to know that he was loved by his family. I particularly enjoyed watching him smile when his daughters flocked around him to care for him. He reminded me of my father a great deal. Somewhat quiet, yet strong, very respected, and very loved. He obviously was a wonderful father and person, and I will miss him. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his wonderful family."

-Poem for Dad- Do not cry, for he has not gone. In our hearts he will still go on. The memories, the laughs that we shared, they have not faded. They're always there. The wonderful smile, his funny ways, he could make our worries seem far away. Those encouraging words of hope and love, he was an angel sent from above. Now he is happy and out of pain. He will be in our hearts until we meet again. -Forever loved by you family-
