My deepest sympathy. Dr. Van Pelt was the most magnificant doctor in many ways. Professionally I knew I was in the best hands, personally, she was so loving, she always asked after my family and even my dog. I was saddened to lose her as my doctor and now so saddened that she has left this earth and her family. May God bless you and comfort you. Dr. Van Pelt has always been in my thoughts and always will be. Every time I go to the doctor I wish it was her I was going to.
