Mr Chambers, you were definitely one of the faces I looked forward to seeing when you walked through the doors of MBPH, you had a grand smile and had an even greater smile when someone would stop and have a chat in the middle of the hallway. Thank-you for helping my family. Rest In Peace Mr Chambers
