I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you, Julio and Janette. You have been in our thoughts and prayers today at the hospital. I hope you are feeling well,Julio. It sounds like you are an important man to very many, so remember to look after yourself and ask for help when needed. I am sorry I did not have a chance to met Ann, but feel blessed to have hopefully helped her with a dignified and peaceful passing. I am sure Ann touched the lives of many people. For me, I am certain that she has affected my life. I will remember her in my daily nursing cares. I will carry her with me in spirit, to remind me of the blessing of life, love and family. Her gift to me will be in the form of compassion that I will hopefully be able to pass on to others. My prayers will be you with.
