To all of Luis's family and friends: our hearts go out to all of you and our prayers are with you. We were so shocked to hear aboout Luis's sudden passing- what a terrible loss. I just want you to know what a wonderful person and dedicated volunteer he was when he was in our program here at Rush Oak Park Hospital. He was a volunteer in the ER for 2 years, and everyone loved working with him because of his pleasant attitude and helpful manner. We will miss him, and are truly sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there is a certain charity or organization you would like us to make a donation in Luis's name.

Sincerely,

The Staff of the Volunteer and ER Departments at Rush Oak Park Hospital.
