We would also like to Thank the hospital staff and Drs. Breckenridge, Poole and Manning for the care Mom received. In the tragic hours of February 1, when everyone was under so much stress and pressure, they still had time for feelings of compassion and tenderness when she had to be transferred to the Ottumwa Hospital for emergency surgery. We are fortunate to have the hospital, staff and Doctors in our community.
