Dear Patty,
I wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. It was such a pleasure caring for Margaret while she was in the ICU. She always remained positive and made me laugh even when she wasn’t feeling well. I will never forget her spunk. She will always be a role model for me. Wishing you and your family peace during this hard time.
With Love,
Betsy Rierson CTICU RN
