I said Grim called me Dolly but then I recalled that he called me "Minnie Pearl" because of my laughter. I would never pass for "Dolly". Grim was a special person for us "Ole Riverside Buddies."

I am very sorry to hear of Grim's death. I worked with him at Riverside Hospital for many years. He would open my office door and say "Hello (Dolly)" and I would call him "Sammy Davis" (as he looked like him) and he would tell me of his latest appearances. It was alway a great joy to see him daily on his rounds. Our family will keep your family in prayer.

I was sorry to hear of MR. Pittman's passing. I enjoyed many years of seeing him here at Riverside and talking with him. He was here when I arrived 30 years ago, and I will never forget him.
Sincerely,
