After 55 years of living with brittle diabetes, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Westhampton Beach and Quogue police officers and Westhampton Beach Ambulance personnel who have helped me no matter the time of day. I give all of them my deepest gratitude and admiration for their professionalism and care.
Regardless of how, when or where I needed their assistance, they have always responded. They have been invaluable in saving my life so many times. The volunteers often go without notice but are so critical to all of us. Their hearts are filled with love and dedication while they are helping others.
Our police and ambulance departments have been saviors to so many, many residents in our communities. Praise, thanks and God bless all of you, from the bottom of my heart.
