Thank you to the wonderful doctors and nurses (especially William, Angus and Nick)  in the emergency room, and D3 wing of the North Bay Regional Health Center for making the last 24 hours of Denis life as comfortable as possible, and offering all the supports and comfort to his family. To all the staff of 3D for his past visit we would like to send a special thank you to his nurses, especially Eve who he loved to banter with. Thank you VON, North East LHIN, and Medigas.
