    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Gorny family. I had the pleasure of working with Francis Gorny and his daughters (Kelly and Kerri) at Children's Hospital. That was a wonderful experience and one that provided me with a longtime friendship with this family. I am forever grateful for knowing him and his family. May all of you continue to find comfort and peace from all of the wonderful memories you shared with him. God bless you all.
