Debbie and family, my heartfelt prayers to all of you! I enjoyed getting to know Mr. Ratliff and you Debbie the last few weeks during his dialysis treatments. I thought for sure he would beat the odds and head home...instead, heaven received a new angel and he suffers no more. My thoughts and prayersfor peace for all of you and to let you know you both have touched my life in a significant way, Laurie Smith Dialysis RN while hospitalized
