Dear Family and Friends,
My name is Marla and I took care of Rusty on Monday and Tuesday in 8ICU at St. Louis University Hospital. You have my deepest sympathy in this time of your greatest loss. It is difficult as an ICU nurse to put such hard work into a patient that doesn't make it; but it narrowly compares to the loss you all must be feeling, especially now so close to the holidays. Tabatha, please take comfort that your dad is glorified in heaven with Jesus and will suffer pain no more. He awaits your arrival sometime and is always with you in spirit. He will never leave you because you are a part of him. Again, I give you my deepest felt sympathy. I'm sorry I couldn't do more for him.
Marla Martin, RN
