Cornelius Witt

Condolences to all of Conn's family members. I wondered about him, having not heard anything for some time. I am thankful for this website through which I found why there was no longer any contact.

Geri, I am so sad to hear that Conn died. I remember you talking about him, when we worked together in the ER. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Shelly, Kim and families, so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. When we spoke at 2nd CRC a few weeks ago you had said he was doing well. We will be keeping you in our prayers.
