I started seeing Dr. Goeller when I was five years old. Ethelda gave me a shot in the bottom while Dr. Goeller slapped the other cheek or maybe it was the other way around. I am 74 now and still remember so much about them both. They stitched me up several times. Loved them both dearly. Dr. Jack Goeller delivered two boys for me.
My deepest sympathies to all her family and friends.
