Still think about her many of times over the years. She was so sweet I met her at Obic Hospital in Suffolk. I still have the hot mats she gave me. She was a wonderful person to talk with. She all way up lifted me when I was down. I thank God for her in my need of times I had with her. She told me that I gave her hope as well, l will never forget her kindness. Thank you to her family.

I think about Ms. Janet very often, how sweet she was. She gave me a set of hot pad I still have them but keep them for a spiritual meaning. God got an angel that day. I got to know her when she was in Sentara Obici Hospital.

I remember Ms. Barnard when she was at Senatra Obici. Had a chance to be her CA. She was so nice, and had a beautiful heart. She gave me such a special feeling each time I entered her room. She also shared her needlework with me, it was beautiful just like her.
