Dear Editor,

I would like to express my utmost appreciation for all the prayers, thoughts, concerns, visits, floral arrangements and food during my recent surgery and recuperation.

A very special thanks to the ICU at Crisp Regional Hospital in Cordele, Dr. Kevin Holloway of Cordele, SICU at Phoebe Putney Hospital, Dr. Francis Herrbold, Dr. Steven Wolinsky in Albany, Palmyra Hospital, along with Dr. Chargei in Albany and the Crisp County EMT staff.

Without the excellent and exceptional treatment during my heart attack and following surgeries, I feel certain my recovery would have been much longer.

We are indeed very fortunate to have these facilities in our city and region. To know they are there in time of need and particularly in times of medical emergencies is very comforting.

I am thankful and proud to live in our community.

Jean Burnette

City Manager
