Renee Becht says
It was an absolute honor to work with James, but more than that, it was a privilege to know him. Over time, James became more than just a patient, I grew closer to him than even some of my own family. His strength, kindness, and incredible spirit left a lasting impact on my life.
I’ve lost many patients over the years, but this loss is by far the hardest. James was truly special, and his presence brought so much warmth and joy to those around him. I will always cherish the conversations we had, the laughter we shared, and the lessons he unknowingly taught me. His memory will forever remain in my heart and in the hearts of many people at Franciscan Place.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Renee Becht ( OT from Fran place)
