The family would like to recognize Nebraska medicine, in particular Dr. Nicole Shonka and her team for the care, compassion but most importantly her ability to give John hope and the gift of Time. Thank you to Village Pointe Infusion Staff, pharmacists, lab, and Radiation Oncology who always made John feel special and gave him the best care the family could have asked for.
