He made a wonderful contribution to the hospital
in the caring and loving way in which he served
our patients with skill and compassion and the
way he treated his coworkers. I always remember
that many years ago when I was far along in my
first pregnancy and I had to carry a fairly
heavy cart (drawer of meds) into the intensive
care unit from the pharmacy, Jeremy took it from
me and carried it and delivered it. I was so
grateful. It was such a sweet and gallant act that
meant a lot to me.
May God's spirit strengthen and comfort you.
