"I’m writing on behalf of myself and my family to thank you for the care you provided to my father. You always treated him with dignity and respect, and you gave us hope during a very difficult time. I can’t truly express what it meant to us that he survived his surgery. You gave him every chance to fight, and it is for this that you will forever be in our thoughts. We were also so glad that you were with us and him in his last hours, as I know my family and I had grown to trust your counsel.
Thank you for your care and compassion, and for helping my father to fight - he would never have had it any other way."
