Excerpts from a Pink Sheet

"I asked F about how he and his wife met and then we started talking about World War II. He told me about his most frightening experience in the Philippine Islands. It was an amazing story. I was on the edge of my seat. I told him it would make a great subplot in a movie and who did he think should play him? He said someone very handsome.

I had to leave and told him I would miss him the next week as I was going to vist my Mom in Flordia. He said he would miss me too."

- taken from the pink sheet of one of our 82 volunteers who are assigned to patients/families. Please know that your words are read by many.
