To the Johnson Family
Not a day has gone by since last Friday when dad called our office to thank me and Dr. Miller for everything that we had done that I wasn't hit with sadness. I thought about him everyday and I would just like to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you at this difficult time. Carl was a wonderful husband, father and of course a wonderful patient.

Linda and family,
I was sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I heard, too late, that you had been at your dad's bedside for several nights. I would have come up to his room early, before starting work, to comfort you and give you a big hug. Know that you are in my thoughts at this difficult time. You are missed at work very much so get better, grieve as much as you need, then hurry back to us.
Love, Elaine

Dear Kathy and family,
"Mr J" will be missed so much here in Narragansett. He always had a good story to tell and a "great fish" to fry, bake or broil with a recipe along with it! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
