Dr. Wikholm and Family,
I was so sorry to read about your son in the paper. You probably don't remember me, but I was a patient of yours 8 years ago. You helped me through a very difficult time in my life and did a wonderful job performing surgery to remove my thyroid cancer. I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time in your life.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Pauls loved ones during this painful time. I did not know Paul, never met him, but I am touched by the story of his life. He was a human who seemed to have it together and its impressive to see that a young man had accomplished as much as he did. Bless his family.
