THE family of a patient who spent three months receiving treatment at Darlington Memorial Hospital have presented staff with a framed picture as a mark of their gratitude for his care.
The picture of a harbour scene was given to staff on ward 11, in memory of Stanley Bert Cleveland, who died on September 14.
Neighbours of Mr Cleveland, who died after suffering a stroke, raised money for the picture and had it inscribed with his name.
His daughter, Valerie Whitby, said: "The staff on the ward were very kind and we could not have managed without their help."
