To Mr Sumner's family,
I was one of his night nurses early on in his first hospital stay. He was a very kind man who fought hard. My heart goes out to all of you in this very difficult time and my deepest condolences. May you all find peace.

I remember Mindy calling Hugh "Dino" when she was small. She still refers to him as such.
