I want to give my condolences on the passing of Beatrice. I am so honored that she trusted me to be her physician the last several years. I will miss seeing her in the office. I am comforted, however, by the amazing amount of love that surrounded her day in and day out. As I grow older,I realize more and more it is not about things, but about love for family and friends. The love that was around her epitomized what family is all about.
