Our Mother liked you, trusted you, and had faith in you, sentiments that are shared by us as well. You always treated her and us with dignity and respect, and regard your patients as still being a part of life while there is a part of life still in them.

Thanks so much for always being so pleasant and taking time to make appointments fit to our period. We so much enjoy your pleasant personality.
