All my heartfelt wishes to James' family and friends...He was a year behind me in school, but I remember him well...and it's funny that he became a nurse. I told him he would be in the medical field...he had a way about him that was comforting...God's blessings and Pink prayers to all

Dear Katie and Becca, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I first got to know your father as we were scratching our way through nurses training--First doing our pre-req courses at Washburn then as we graduated from Stormont-Vail School of Nursing. He always had such a warm smile and easy way . We were in many clincal rotations together and it was his great sense of humor that helped all of us through many situations! Please know how proud he was when he would speak with us about "his girls"--You lit up his life and now you make his memory proud by the wonderful young women you both have become. --Nancy Hanni
