I often wonder how the family is doing and how everyones life changed after that day. My family spent a lot of time together in Grant hospital with the Fickeisen's. Weeks together. My husband had been in a car accident so we were all there together day after day in the waiting room. Very nice and caring family. I'm sure the memories are still there. Hope everyone is doing well.
