Dear Van Neste family,
I am a nurse from the Brigham who worked on the 14th floor where Mary spent her last few days. While I was not ever her nurse directly, I remember fondly Mary and her husbands love for each other. I was present at the Memorial Service we held for all the patients whom we've cared for and passed away. I just wanted to say Mr. Van Neste we were all so touched by your words and wisdom of coping with a spouse with scleroderma. You are a truly blessed family. Again, sincerely thank you, the nurses from 14CD.
