Andy-

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, which is also our family, because, as you know, there is this destiny that makes us brothers.

I never knew more than the first few lines of this song that I first learned at NSC, but it seems very fitting today:

"No man is an island,
No man stands alone,
Each man's joy is joy to me,
Each man's grief is my own.

We need one another,
So I will defend,
Each man as my brother,
Each man as my friend.

I saw the people gather,
I heard the music start,
The song that they were singing,
Is ringing in my heart.

No man is an island,
Way out in the blue,
We all look to the one above,
For our strength to renew.

When I help my brother,
Then I know that I,
Plant the seed of friendship,
That will never die.

With deepest sympathy and love,
Steve, Shelley, Stephanie and Michael Richman

Vicki was the best camp nurse. She helped me a lot when my incision opened when at camp and mostly made me feel comfortable every time. I hope her nurses were as good. - Andrew S

Superhero indeed! Vickie was a tremendous physician with a fantastic bedside manner. She cared not only for Jack in his illness but also saw to his comfort and made our entire family feel well-cared for. Having all of you over for dinner was a true treat and brought NSC to Phoenix in a very special way. We will forever be grateful for Vickie's love and care. Godspeed Laney and Andy. We are with you.
