Not sure what to say?

Ah Dr. Abel; Ray Rosenman recommended Hill Abel to me 25 years ago. Dr. Abel was the most perspicacious, and discerning doctor I have known; he was the doctor of doctors. I shall greatly miss him; a candle shall be lit for you doctor this holiday season.

Dr. Abel was not only a fine doctor, but a wonderful human being. We so enjoyed his anecdotes and the pride he took in his family. He looked after my father John Hale for many years. He helped us in many difficult situations with grace, compassion and humor. Our deepest condolences to his family and Sherri.

My Father, Raymond Holtz, was a patient of Dr.Abel for many years.
I give credit to Dr. Abel for helping him maintain good health for
so many years. When my Dad was diagnosed with a debilitating illness and I became his caregiver, Dr. Abel was instrumental in helping me as his caregiver.Dr.Abel was always available to me and my Dad during a very difficult time. My condolences to his family and best wishes to his staff.

Thank You, Robert Holtz, Marinwood

Dear Family of Dr. Abel

Dr. Abel has been my doctor for 40 years not only has he been our doctor but a true friend. He took care of my husband until his death 10 years ago.
A truly exceptional person and loved him dearly.
He will truly be missed.

Dear Family of Dr. Abel:
I was very saddened to hear of Dr. Abel's passing. He first took great care of my grandmother then my mother, father and myself. He has been of great support to my father both as a doctor and a person. Dr. Abel will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to the Abel family and also special thoughts to Sheri.

Dear Abel family: Hillie gave me my first job in the medical field. He was an amazing teacher and great man. I'll always remember his smile: his whole face lit up. He had a huge impact on my life, as I am still in the medical field, ten years later. I am sad that I will no longer see him anymore. He was such a blessing to the community. I witnessed, first hand, his miracles with medicine. I'm sure he will continue performing those miracles in heaven. My most sincere condolences to you.

Hillie was the first young man I looked up to. I was just a 5-year old kid living on Fillmore Street in the Marina district and Hillie was my 2nd-cousin. To this day, I keep a small, red-knitted sweater with the Stanford logo that Hillie gave me. I was Fran & Hillie's ring bearer 54 years ago.
Sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts go out to Fran, Lisa, Adam, Steve and JoAnne.
Fair winds and following seas Hillie, as you make your final passage of the Bar and head out to...

Psalm 90:10 states, "In themselves the days of our years are seventy years, And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years..." Although Ms Abel lived a long life this does not relieve the pain that is felt by her loved ones. May our Heavenly Father give these ones strength and comfort through the Scriptures. Please accept my sincere condolences during this time of your loss.
