I am truly sorry for your loss Dr. Lagattutta i know how hard it is my mother passed in 2016. Time is the true healer but i know about that hole in your heart where they used to be. I don't think that one ever heals. I think that is about the time i started to have treatments. I hope you remember who i am.
