To the Psimas Family:
I was sadden when I arrived at work on Sunday, November 16th and didn’t see the family in the Heart Waiting Room. I call it my waiting room, because I feel right at home because of the loving and caring families like yours that I meet there. When I went to the 2nd floor to make my rounds, the nurse informed me of Mrs. Psimas’s death.
Seeing all of you on Saturday, caused me to reflect and remember your mother as being a lady of class, style and substance. As I mentioned, I had an opportunity to spend some time with Mrs. Psimas during my nursing years of taking care of her mother Mrs. Carter.
Again, I am deeply saddened to hear of her death. I hope that you will accept my most sincere sympathy and condolence. I truly hope that your memories of the happier moments will help ease your pain. The memories of your mother will live on in each of you.
May you continue to look to God for comfort, and know that HE is your source of strength- as you go through this trying period.
Sincerely,
Marilyn D. Grant
