Peggy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Richard and Sharon were such great people and I will miss them both. I am thankful that I got to know them for the time I did. I greatly enjoyed being their family doctor and being a part of your lives.
God Bless, Brian Hauser, MD
My deepest condolences to your family. Losing a loved one is never easy. As you continue in life keep the wonderful words found at Revelations 21:4 with you and hold dear the thought found in Isaiah 25:8. No, I can not bring your loved one back but I hope that the comfort in knowing that God not only wants to but will is encouraging in itself. – Acts 24:15. Again, I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Ashley Worley
