IT is hard to find the words to express our sincere gratitude to Dr Hutchinson and all the wonderful staff at Snowden House rehab centre, Ashurst, for all the wonderful care, love and compassion shown to Ricky during his stay.

From the day he walked through your doors his ability to cope with his stroke improved radically. Indeed we too learned that Ricky's ability to cope was as important as his medical recovery.

The care did not stop with Ricky. We also felt that you gave us tremendous support for which we are truly grateful.

We wish you well in your move to new premises. We are sure that you will all settle and make your unit as special as Snowden.

Angels are certainly working at Snowden House. The NHS should be proud to have you working for them.

TERRY AND HEATHER SMITH AND RICKY, Hamble.
