Dear Dr. Nestel,
Your wife was my mother’s palliative care doctor after the unexpected return of her rare cancer. The kindness, empathy, humanity and dignity she showed my mother and indeed all of us, her family, during that very painful and challenging time was both extraordinary and memorable. Your wife was indeed an amazing woman and it was our honour to have known her. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Sarah Sampara (daughter of the late Ann-Mary Westcott)

I've never got to meet her but talked to her on the phone. I have been using her husband as my specialist for years. I am very saddened to hear that such a wonderful person was taken away too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as they try to cope and get through the hard times.

Deepest sympathy to Tony, and Family,
I was very saddened to hear of Mada's death. I only had the pleasure of meeting her once or twice over the years but we often spoke on the phone. She was always generous with her time and advice, and understood what it was like to be a GP in the "trenches". She will be sorely missed.

We are so very saddened to hear the news of Mada’s passing. My mother, brothers and I met her a little more than 6 years ago while my father was in hospital for his final days. Mada was a very calming and compassionate soul, who left a lasting impression on our lives. Our hearts go out to you Tony, Dr. Nestel

No words can do justice to our feelings about Mada's passing. She will be sorely missed.She was uniquely compassionate as a doctor (listened to her "feelings" that no test supported and probably saved my husband's life). Mada was an amazing woman who died too young. Our sincerest condolences to the family. Hugs, Rose-Marie Lohnes-Hirtle and Corwin Hirtle
