Dean Morgan has been an incredible role model of the Oredigger Promise, but even moreso, the Oredigger Spirit. He is the first to acknowledge that this is hard and to commiserate about the challenges, but in the same breath be positive about all of the things we CAN do and all of the ways we CAN be together.

We are so grateful for and impressed with the dedication and care that Ms. Engerman showed Maggie, especially at time when I am sure health services...
