The always smiling, compassionate “Purple Peeps” of the Cancer Care Clinic whose humor and dedication made chemo manageable. Pharmacist Clayton Maltby who went so far above & beyond. Nursing and career colleagues at SFHT, especially Dr. Alan McLean, who helped our family when we needed it most. Dr. Karen Booth.
