We would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and everyone in the ICU, emergency room, and step down unit. We appreciate the compassionate, loving care at Lt Conte. Ben was so pleased to finally see our beautiful hospital and the Dr. Thomas professional building and the memorial with Dr. Thomas's medicine bag that Ben filled so many times.

As is a tale so is a life. Not how long it is, but how good it is - is what matters.
