I only knew Moe for a very short time. I was a patient at hospital for behavioral medicine the same time that he was. I honestly felt that he was being neglected for several days before his death. Although I did not know him very well because he kept to himself while he was a patient. I was very saddened to learn of his death and I believe it could“ve been avoided. Had he been sent to a medical hospital sooner. May his family know that he was loved.
