Dear Editor: I would like to let the community know what a wonderful facility we have in the Llano Hospital. My 97-year-old mother received incredible care. She called the nurses her “angels”. Dr. David monitored her so closely and called me at home to keep me informed about her condition. She told me she had better care here than any other hospital she had been to. We certainly have heartfelt appreciation for Dr.
