To the editor:

The family of Virgil Bagwell would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses and support staff of the Critical Care Unit and emergency at Whidbey General Hospital for their care and compassion during my husband Virgil’s final illness.

Also, I want to thank my friends from St. Mary’s Church, my neighbors in Coupeville, and all my friends on Whidbey Island for their care and support at this difficult time.

Should anyone wish to make a donation in Virgil’s name, our suggestion is that it be sent to support the Critical Care Unit, Whidbey General Hospital, Coupeville, WA 98239.
