I am deeply sorry for your loss. Dr. Cho was an excellent surgeon and a doctor with excellent bedside manner. He performed several suguries on me and I remember feeling very comfortable because of our chats prior to the operating room. I hope he did not suffer a long illness. He contributed much to the community and will be missed by all who knew him.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. During this time, may all be comforted by the wonderful promise; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away."
