LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR DR. KEITH ASH, M.D.
There are many of us in this community who love Dr. Ash and support him fully. We know it is
an enormous loss for the community not to have him as our surgeon. Dr. Ash has touched so
many lives, and we want it known that he has provided excellent care for us, and will be
sorely missed. We want our many positive voices to be heard over the few negative ones.
GOD BLESS YOU, DR. ASH
