Hi Ivy,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you often during these very sad times for you. I miss seeing you on our hospital floor everyday - I used to look forward to saying hi to you all the time.

I will always remember you and Bob. You were such a special couple and so lucky to have each other. Take comfort in remembering how much Bob appreciated everything you did for him - even if he couldn't tell you in words at the end. I could always see it in his eyes.

Take care of yourself now and always,

Julie Carlson, RN
