A minutes silence was held on our unit today in honour of our colleague and friend to many, James Harrison. Our thoughts are with his family and close friends at this time. We will never forget you James ❤️
It’s hard to find words to express the shock and sadness we are feeling following the tragic death of our colleague James. He was such a loved & admired colleague & friend to many at the RIE. James will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family & friends at this time 💙
