OUR family wish to publicly express our deepest appreciation to every member of staff at Redwood Trauma Ward, during the distressing time of the last 40 hours of the life of our younger daughter Katy Jane following her sudden and fatal brain haemorrhage.

We cannot adequately express how crucial and critical their supportive, attentive, sensitive and understanding attitude proved to be, and how this softened the emotional pain and suffering of the family members attending the bedside at Hereford County Hospital.

We are so fortunate in having such professional and devoted hospital staff at Hereford, and they should be widely recognised as such. We humbly and appreciatively thank them.

ALLAN & ANGELA LLOYD, Swanclose, Hergest Road, Kington
