The family would like to thank Tacoma General Hospital and the staff at Alaska Gardens Rehabilitation Nursing Home for the wonderful care they provide Ron. Thank you for all of the care and compassion you showed him and our family during his stay. There just are not enough words to express how thankful we are.
