Jimmy and Jenny, I am so sorry to learn of your mom's death. It seems that she was doing all right when I went to visit her. Just know that she was a Very Special friend to me and I appreciate what she did for me at the Lung Association. I will miss checking on her! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I pray for God's comfort for each of you.
Love,
Mary Ann Hancock

So sorry for your loss. Wilma was a lovely lady and a great help to me when I started at Lung in 1993. She and her volunteers did an incredible job of opening all of our direct mail, processing the money and providing reports. I very much enjoyed working with her. She was an outstanding employee and richly deserved the recognition she received.
