With heartfelt thanks

To the editor:

On Feb. 17, a very loving and inspiring person in our lives, Patricia Ray, passed away.

In the nearly two months following her diagnosis of a brain tumor, she was helped by many health care providers she called her “guardian angels.” The emergency room staff at both Mat-Su Regional Hospital and Alaska Regional were the first to offer her compassionate care. Then the doctors, nurses and office staff at Midnight Sun Oncology, Valley Radiation Therapy and Dr. Beyeler’s office continued her care with compassion and concern.

The many friends who stopped by or called were also a special source of strength for mom. Others have been a tremendous help by caring for her kitties after her death. We would like to thank the loving members of Family Christian Center who came to our aid time and again.

We appreciate each one who went out of his or her way to support her and our family during this time.

Family of Pat Ray
