    Dear Dr. Bernard Zidar and Family, I did not know your mother, but 24 years ago you were instrumental in saving my life. I can only think your mother was instrumental in making you the man and doctor you are, for that I am extremely grateful to her. I will be eternally grateful to you and hope you will find great comfort knowing you made such a great difference in so many lives, for which I'm sure your mother was very proud.

    I'm so sorry we lost Helen. I loved her like family. I'm glad I visited her last Monday she seemed good and remembered me. Bernard and Sue know my thoughts are with you. Patty Kleinhampl (Devonshire)
