So small in statute but enormous in her heart. Such a wonderful friend to my Mom when Mom was bedridden. Once a week visits, so I could have a few hours to get myself and kids together. Always so spunky and caring. My Mom always appreciated the friendship they had made and I am forever thankful

Just because I can not see that smile any more doesn't mean I do not continue to see it in my memory. What an example you set for us young'uns. I love you still.... Carol McGivney Stoody, the baby still.

Mrs Kennedy was one of my most memorable nurse's that I've worked with. From the halls of EJ Meyer to ECMC. She had super powers working full time with 9 children! She remained totally devoted to her patients care, and always appeared tireless. I have not seen her since probably the 80's but shes always been one i wondered what she was doing. She made the world a better place.

Rita's friendship and kindness will always be remembered; I am so grateful that she and Paul shared times of fun & laughter with my parents and Rita's visits and support during my mom's illness always made my mom's day. With heartfelt sadness and love.
