I am a caregiver at Cumberland Crossing's Nursing home. Sully was one of my favorite residents, and I will miss him very much. He told us stories of his life, made me laugh. I would walk in the room, and say," hi honey, he would answer, Hi sweetie. He would tell me I talked too much and then laugh, I would give him a hug or kiss on the forehead, and he would say, thank you. He will be remembered by many who took care of him. We loved him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
