Dear Ginna and Family.
I am so sorry to hear of your father's death. I knew him from bridge in Buffalo and you through the BPS. He was a fine person and always so encouraging at the bridge table. He loved and was proud of his family very much.

Hello again, Foley Family,

It was a wonderful privilege to take care of your dad and get to know you during his stay at the hospital. I hope you have found peace with Mr. Foley's passing, and that your grief is lessened by the fact that he is no longer in pain or discomfort.

Take care and God Bless,
Kim P, RN, UCH

Dear Ginna and family,

I remember how you spoke of your dad with such affection. "A good father is an anchor and that anchor remains in life and death." (Applies to grandfathers too!) We are out of town and regret not seeing you personally. Warmest sympathy to you all.

I was very saddened to hear of Dan's passing. I knew him from bridge and I can say there is one word that described him. He was the ultimate "Gentleman". I had the utmost respect for this truly nice individual. While I did not see him often, I will miss him and always remember him
