I used to work at Hillside Manor and I was one of the aides that took care of Mr. Wallencheck. We became really close and he became family to me. Once I quit Hillside I would go back just to check on how he was doing. It hurts me dearly to know he is now gone. He will never be forgotten, and always will be loved by me. I am so dearly sorry for your loss and I am sending prayers your way.
