Praying for the family and friends of Dr Ledford. Dr Ledford was such a nice gentleman and caring doctor. It is sad he was taken so early, not only was he good to his patients he was nice to the staff at the hospital. He was not demeaning and didn't make people feel stupid. Dr Ledford could have given lessons in behavior, he will be sadly missed. Why did this have to happen to one of the good guys? I pray for his wife and family. It was an honor to have worked with such a great guy!
