Jamie BenefielI had the pleasure of being John’s home health aide I believe in 2017. John was initially reluctant but grew to enjoy my visits. On the last visit when he no longer needed my services we both cried when we said goodbye. He truly touched my heart and I think of him often. Sending my deepest condolences.
