Maureen, Tom, Kristin , Michael and Erin it was an honor to care for John at MGH Boston. It's always difficult watching family's grieving especially such a precious soul as John's. He was very special on this earth and is now in heaven. I just know in my heart he is immersed in the warmth and peace of God's unfailing love. Throughout your pain in his last days you all were so gracious and strong and made caring for John a pleasure. I pray that you find healing and be comforted by the memories and the presence of his spirit which will be with you always. Alice Murphy RN (Co. Wexford).
