  The Hall family would like to express their sincere thanks to Dr. Sood’s staff – especially Mary, Amber & Cassie, as well as Curtis’s Hospice team – Denise, Carol, Heather & ShyAnne and his neighbors & friends. Their kindness, compassion & empathy has no limits and without their help & support we could never have made it through this. Thank you all so much.
