Please accept my Prayers for your Family ...
I met Mr Gouge only a few weeks ago (for therapy), but I & knew when I met him, he reminded me of my own Dad..
I found out he was a very intelligent man- a "Mr Fix It" type of guy, but a very kind, quiet and gentle man. He didn´t brag about anything except for his kids and grandkids, etc.
So, when I tried to "strike up a conversation" with him about his interests... he slowly but surely mentioned Marty Robbins...
El Paso was the song I played for us to listen to, as he sat on the side of the bed in his room. He tapped his feet and he Smiled largely... he was happy for a little while as we sang and tapped toes.
Mr Gouge was a sweet and a delightful Gentleman. And it was truly my pleasure to have known him for but a little while...
May you find comfort in knowing that your Dad, Grandpa and loved one, did have a bit of fun and joy while he was trying to recover...
We never know what is in store for us, we´re not supposed to.
But Mr Gouge was a pleasure to visit and work with in therapy-
He will be missed and we are very sorry for your loss.
May God grant you Peace during this time.
Sincerely,
Amy Wilkinson, PT
