Dear Jean, My deep deep sympathy, love and prayer for you and your whole family who have been so shocked by the suddenness of Tom''s death. Know that I journey with you in spirit into this unfamiliar terrain of loss. Love, Kathleen Kathleen Lichti, CSJ 519-537-0611 (cell) 519-204-0762 (landline) d unfamili I want to thank you for sending in these two recommendations to the OMA. I apologize if there has been a delay in getting back to you; our department has seen a great staff turnover recently. I�m new in the role, and recently interviewed both Dr. Vu and Dr. Mele for an upcoming edition of the newsletter. I�m working on the final articles now, and hope to include them in either the September or October editions. With regards to Dr. Mele, would you be comfortable if I quote some of your comments from the email below in the article? I will withhold your name for privacy. I am thinking of including the following paragraph: Today, Dr. Mele is the one saving lives. The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) was contacted by one of her former patients who was on life support for six weeks in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at LHSC. �I owe her my life,� the patient wrote. �This medical professional deserves and has my gratitude and esteem.� Please let me know if you are comfortable with this information being shared. Thank you again for contacting the OMA!
