Dear Dr. Warren and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your wife's passing. You were my dr. for many years until your retired. You delivered both of my grandchildren.
I had no idea that you had retired to the area that I was born and raised.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
