Special heartfelt thanks to Mary Peters and Mrs. Belinda Peters, Uncle Dub’s hands-on caregivers. The Prine family is grateful for the faithful, tender, loving care they provided to him on a daily basis. Also, special thanks to all the nurses who went above and beyond caring for him at his residence.
