Dear Rishell family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Miles was a special man and it was such a true joy for me to be his social worker at Pleasant View. He will be deeply missed by all of us staff. We will miss your kind and understanding family as well. Miles always talked so highly of his family and I hope you all find comfort knowing your parents are finally together again. Regards, Mark Gales
