I recently worked at Brookhaven from oct-dec 2009. And I had the pleasure of meeting and providing care for "Sleepy". He was such a sweet person. I will always remember him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. But I truly believe he is in a much better place now.

My Mother Mildred Mathews was in the same nursing home as Ray they had been friends since they were children living in Highland. They would talk and laugh about the old times. Mom passed away two years ago but, I can still see them two childhood friends naming names of people they knew and times long gone.
