Rob, this is Sarah from Youville Hospital. I am so sorry to hear of Deb's passing. I hope it was peaceful. I have thought of her often and she is one of the most memorable patients I have ever cared for. Her courage and strength was incredible. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Hope you are finding peace.
