I was deeply saddened to learn of your fathers passing. Please allow me to extend my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to you and yours; and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I was fortunate to be an integral part of his medical journey in caring for such a diverse population of patients and to have the ability to gain so much knowledge everyday from him. Your father made a difference in so many people's lives.
