Not sure what to say?

I remember Dr. Denmark giving me my smallpox vaccination! I still remember "1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians, 4 little, 5 little, 6 little Indians, 7 little, 8 little, 9 little Indians, 10 little Indian boys.

She treated me for free when I was 12 for Hepatitis at the Methodist Church in Atlanta. I suspect she may have saved my kit. Today I am 64 and remember her like it was yesterday.

I was a patient of Dr. Denmark and I was born
in 1940, she saved my life as a 5 yr old. My
children also were her patients. She was a Doctor that no one could take her place and a remarkable human being. we were all so blessed
to have her in our lives.

Will be missed thank u for what you done in atl

Will be missed

My son will turn 27 this November. She was his pediatrician and I still refer to her wisdom. Grateful I learned about her and that she was my son's pediatrician. I called her after I moved out of Georgia needing her sage advice and she willingly gave it.
