I know you don't know me but I knew your mother. She was my absolute favorite nurse over at Moreau Family Health. And my son was her favorite patient. She would always say, "Would you look at this child?" to everyone on our way through the halls.....She just loved him. She always said she wanted to take him home with her. I am thankful for the time I knew her. I missed her when she left the practice and I am so sad about her passing. She touched many even if they didn't know her that long.
