Dear Mr Grauzas. I was the nurse who came out from Condell Home Care to administer IV fluids to Nancy. I am so sorry to read of her passing. I know she fought cancer for some time. I could tell from my one visit how dedicated you were to her. My sympathies to you and your boys as well as Nancy's parents. God bless you all in this painful time.
