Letter
Don't even think of asking for help because it
will have arrived, in force, long before you have any inkling that
you need it. Oh! and, do not expect the help to hit and run. The
only requirements on your part will be that you do what you are told
to do when you are told to do it. These well trained forces from
Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association include, in part,
Genevieve, Jane, Scott, Debbie, Patti, Sharon, Wendy, Sheri, (and
that's only the front line) are superior in their respective fields.
Just a note of appreciation and thanks for, not only your
professional attention but your true concern for those in need of
help.
My wife Nanci deserves a medal of honor or purple
heart- —perhaps both for her help and patience.
Jim Breagy
