It is easy to become overwhelmed by the weight of a tragedy. Even in the most painful of situations, it’s important to recognize that soul-saving gratitude may arise. I recently attended the funeral of a dear friend, Ann Connelly. Over 12 years ago, she was given a grave and heartbreaking prognosis.
During his tribute to his sister, Ann’s brother John took time to sincerely thank the health care professionals that cared for Ann, specifically Dr. Edward Greeno and his staff at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Clinic.
