The Gentry family would like to thank Dr. Riley of Sentara Cancer Center and the amazing staff who cared for Daniel during his cancer journey. We would also like to thank Right at Home aides, UVA ICU, and the comfort/hospice care that provided Daniel with compassionate support as his journey of life came to an end.
