I had the great pleasure of taking care of Neil at Iowa Lutheran on 3E. I really enjoyed taking care of your husband/father/grandfather. He was a very neat person. We talked quite a bit while he was in 309 at Lutheran with those chest tubes. I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all.
