To the Editor:

No one likes to have to go to the Hospital. But once again, St. Lukes has come through with Shining Colors and Bright Stars all around.

I had written a letter a few months ago praising St. Lukes for care my Dad received for back shots given. From the EMTs arriving at our home, to the young lady delivering meals each day, everyone deserves numerous pats on the back and kudos from now till Christmas.

Dr. Owens in Emergency, the nurses there and then Dr. Cornelius, Pam, Dixie, Joanie, Jan and La Toya could not have given better care. Professional, yet friendly. Tender, yet competent. &bsp;

All involved during the two days my dad was in St. Lukes, performed more than their 100 percent. Better care he could not have received anywhere, I am convinced.

I am touched and a multitude of appreciations go out to all mentioned. Again, we are lucky indeed to have a hospital such as this in our community. &bsp;

Myself, my sister and dad have never seen such care given, tender loving it surely was. We express our appreciation again, for making his hospital stay a good one.
