To the Editor:

The Michaud family wishes to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Emergency Services First Responders who answered our recent 911 call. Their efforts to preserve the life of Raymond were nothing short of extraordinary, and we recognize the psychological and physical toll responses like this have on these individuals.

They were able to provide our family with additional time so that Raymond could pass peacefully while surrounded by those he loved.
