So very sorry for this tremendous loss for this family. I had the pleasure of taking part in Patrick's care at Lagrange hospital as part of the Respiratory team. I am so glad I had the opportunity to talk to him and get to know him. He was a very kind man in spite of all of his health issues. Always put a smile on his face when I walked into the room. May he rest in peace.
With prayers and condolences, Gina (Respiratory Care Team)
