Comments
Greg Bagwell was a coworker of mine in the Emergency Department at a local hospital. He was one of the most gentle and kind souls I have ever had the honor to know. He was a good friend and now he is dead. Just like that. No warning, no time to tell his family and friends goodbye. Because of the irresponsible actions of one person, the rest of us are left to grieve the loss. Goodbye Greg, you never deserved this.
