I am so sorry to hear Rainer's passing Margie, Christian and Alexandra. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Although it's been years since I've seen you guys, I have several memories of all of you. You guys were a big part of our lives in Germany and then in the US.

Mr Stephen was my friend and one time patient. He was always earlier than his appointment was one thing I remember about him. When asked he was never tired and determined to have the best attitude possible. He became a friend and I truly enjoyed when he would come to our area for his Port to be flushed. He will be greatly missed, and my condolences to his family. Jane T. RN.
