My condolences and prayers to Mrs. Paller's family. Her son, Barry, and I became friends in the early eighties at Schering-Plough. The person that Barry is assures me that she was a very kind and loving lady.

Ms Shirley was one of my favorite patients. The time I spent with her and her family during my home visits will always be some of my treasured memories as a home health nurse. I will forever be grateful for my time with her and her family.
