Dr Bainbridge I am sorry for your loss. Amy & you were always so very nice and kind to me when you worked here in Burlington. I pray the best for you and your kids doing this time. I’ve lost a spouse in death like you and just wanted to let you know better days are ahead for you and your family, you just have to hang in there.
