My deepest sympathy to you. I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Powell as a resident physician, and heard her talk about her family, especially Her niece Michael. Dr. Powell also was my doctor, delivered my 4th and last son,and was my doctor until her retirement. She will be remembered for her love and care for her patients and people in general. Continue to love and take care of each other.
