Awesome celebration

This is a shout-out to Dr. Ravi Patel from the Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center in Bakersfield. He held a Celebration of Life in his parking lot on Oct. 18, and in so doing honored his patients and their families.

To have him as our family doctor is a huge blessing. He shows such love, kindness, respect, care and comfort to all of his patients and their families. Those of you who been treated at CBCC know what I am talking about. I have never met one person at CBCC who isn't kind. They all care.

We love, honor and respect Dr. Patel and thank him so much for the wonderful celebration.
