Not sure what to say?

My mother and I were greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Dorethy. I had the pleasure of working with him while a nurse at Boswell Hospital, but also knew him on a personal basis when he cared for my mother, Gertrude Nichols. He was very kind to her and to me, and took time out of his busy day to page me and wait for me to return his call to update me on her condition, even though the news was not encouraging. My Mother always enjoyed his joking with her and his laughter. We will...

My sincerest sympathy goes out to each and every member or Dr. Dorethy's family. He was not only the greatest of doctors, but also a very kind, caring person, and a most excellent physician.

In 2002 my husband, Donn, was diagnosed with lung cancer. It came as quite a shock, because he was the picture of health and played 18 holes of golf 3-4 days a week. The tumor on his lung was on the back side of his heart,and was attached to the aorta. We were told it was not operable.

Dear Mindy & Family,
In this moment of sorrow, know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Of the several times my family and I were invited to share in the joyous occations of life with you, I had the pleasure of getting to your dad as an enthusiactic, life loving, and compassionate man.

Dear Tyler and Family,

I want to extend my deepest sympathy for your heartbreaking loss. I did not have the pleasure to know the man as well as you all did; however, every time I saw him he always had the greatest smile and the utmost sense of humor. No doubt, every time I came over the house, he made me laugh. Also, my mother (Shirley) had worked with him over twenty years; countless times she has told me what a great doctor he was to work with, and most importantly what a...
