Au revoir Mr. Southport. You leave behind a wonderful legacy for which all of Southport should thank you for. He helped me to get my late mother into a rest home when I had no idea of what to do or how to do it. He simply guided me through the process and he got nothing out of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
