They went to such lengths for his care, and always helped maintain his dignity."

This uses the Divi tabs module, so you can style it however you want using Divi's built in design controls! Pretty nifty eh?
And of course you can add images or whatever you want here too. Tabs are nothing new, but tabs that display inside your mega menu are pretty awesome :)
