To the Koprowski Family,
I spent many an hour with Nancy and thought of her more like a friend than a patient. We often laughed and sometimes we cried during the sessions. I think the arm massage was as therapeutic for me as it was for her. We talked about family and you all should take comfort in the fact that she loved you all more than anything. She will be in my heart and my thoughts forever.
