I was humbled by Dr. Diemer's generosity of spirit when he visited my brother in the hospital. He did not know me or my brother, but because my brother was a long way from home and going through the difficult process of a bone marrow transplant, he voluntarily visted him at his daughter Donna's request. His visit meant so much to both my brother and our family. I was honored to finally meet him almost a year after my brother's passing. May God keep you all in his heart while you work through this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
