We’ve been meaning to write you ever since David called us the morning of your Mum’s passing. We think about her and bring her up in conversation very often. She was fun, a fantastic dancer, and she gave so much to others. Not just to you two and to your Dad but to her friends and she made friends easily and well. She was a giver. She never needed to be the star but was always willing to help other people be stars. Rick loved to have her as his kitchen companion as she helped him be the star chef. I once painted a faux rug on a floor in Sunapee; she tirelessly cut thousands of tiny pieces of painters tape so that I could have this wonderful floor. And she was interested in what you did. I remember that rug. She saw the error in my pattern before the paint went down and we could correct. She was always happy to help other people succeed at something. She was a star-maker. We miss her. - Rick and Jane

- Virtual colonoscopy is effectiveComputed tomographic colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, remains effective in screening older patients for colorectal cancer (CRC), produces low referral for colonoscopy rates similar to other screening exams now covered by Medicare, and does not result in unreasonable levels of additional testing resulting from extracolonic findings, as […]
