‘ To Mildred and Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I feel like I lost a good friend that can never be replaced. I am sure he will be missed by all that was associated with him. He was a joy to be around and I learned a lot around him whether it be work or life in general. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you now and in the days to come. Nathan & Myra Johnson’
To Bobby’s wife and daughters. It was a pleasure to meet him at St. Francis Hospital and interact with him for the two weeks I had nursing students on the unit. He was a great man, quite humorous and ready to pull a joke on us. I loved the day he walked in the hall with the student nurses and ‘showed off’. God bless your family during this difficult time. I will remember that we made him smile even when he didn’t feel good. Elaine, Nursing Instructor from Univ of Indpls.
