Not sure what to say?

As a former patient of Dr. Feys, I will always be grateful to him for the help he gave me during some of the most stressful parts of my life. I am sorry that he has passed on.

Dear family,

I remember Dr. Jean Feys quite well as he was the youngest brother of my father, the late Dr.George Feys, and we visited him on two occasions in his residence in Bethesda, Maryland.
Accept my sincere condolences.

Dear Anne and Ben,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and know that you are in my prayers during this journey.
Love
Barbara
