For Pat Brunetti and family:

It is unlikely that you remember me,however, I remember you when I worked at Valley Childrens in the neonatal ICU years ago. I can offer little in the way of comfort, but please know that people you may still not remember are thinking of you in your sorrow.

I will pray for your beautiful grandson and for some ease in the great pain of your loss.
