Marilyn Miller/Pulmonary Rehab marilyn.miller@hcahealthcare.com I was sorry to hear about Volney. I loved to talk to him when he came to exercise at Pulmonary Rehab. He made friends with everybody he exercised with in the lab. I am sorry for your loss. Ironically, I lost my husband Gene on June 23rd. You may have noticed his obituary on the Wood Funeral Home page also. These are tough times for both of us but the Lord will get us all through this and always remember the good times. My sympathy.
