Guestbook

  1. Greta, I want you to know that Kevin and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We have very fond memories of Dr. Ibarra and the many contributions he made for those with mental illness. He was very special and respected by his patients and the staff at Comcare and St Joe. I am sure you have many more fond memories that will comfort you but wanted you to know he leaves the mental health community with a endearing and lasting legacy for his life’s work.
