2.The testimony of my brother's life  

My brother was an excellent nurse. We had not known about the special contributions he made to the nursing profession until some of his colleagues shared this information during the memorial service. The Governor of Kansas sent a letter of condolence to his wife and children with appreciation for his services as executive administrator of the State Board of Nursing. When he died he was associate executive director of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
He was a respected member of his church. When they learned his lifelong secret, they did not shun him, but made it possible for him to die at home through their round-the-clock care for him and his family.
