So sorry for your loss to the family and especially you, Ramona. This was quite a shock to me when my daughter sent this to me. Prayers for peace and comfort to the entire family. (Ramona), just to remind you who I am, I and my daughter were patients of his and I met you through my love of horses and had planned to purchase one. God bless you always,
