Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Krista, I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I know she was a very special person. She will always be in your heart. Remember she is in a better place, and is not feeling any pain. Please feel free to talk to me at any time. Your friend at work
To Lee’s family– I took care of Lee right after she had her surgery back in January or Feb and I remember when Dr. Beamer talked to her about her diagnosis and I will never forget the braveness she showed and the courage in her voice. It was nice to see her (although the circumstances were not so nice) when she was back on 8T for a short while-I only had her the first day she was there. It didn’t take long after talking to her to realize what an amazing person she had to be and of course I’ll never forget her southern drawl. 🙂 My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
