Such a wonderful man! I know he didn’t feel good towards the end, but we made the best of it. I would have loved to known him in his younger days. It was my pleasure to take care of Mr. Ramey.

Mr Ramey was absolutely the nicest man I have ever met. I remember him coming to LGH for physical therapy He made my day every time he came through the doors. I will miss seeing Mr. Ramey but I know he is now in a wonderful place.
I remember his daughter Bobbi coming in with her dad. My thoughts & prayers are with you. ❤
