To the Gino Merli Family, we could not have done this without you. Your love and support will be forever cherished. When entering the facility, we had a smile and when leaving the facility, we had a smile, knowing that our father was safe, sound, secure and receiving the best care in the world. As Frank would say to each of the staff” You’re a good boy, you’re a good girl, I love you. We never walk alone. God Bless you and I cherish every one of you”
