Nursing has lost a fine, loving nurse, who still thought the little things like a back rub was an essential part of bedside care. She was always there with a kind, patient word of encouragement to co workers and patients alike.
I was very fortunate to have had Mary as a preceptor those many years ago. So many times have I recalled her teachings. My heart goes out to Janet and family members with this loss.
I know that she has great company in heaven with those who have gone ahead, and she'll be waiting for us there.

My husband is currently on 4E at Lewis-Gale, and Mary was his nurse for many shifts. She was a wonderful nurse - always caring and never without a kind word as you passed in the hall. She was always wanting to learn more too. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during the time of sorrow.

Mary was the gold standard for nursing. She was the most compassionate nurse one could ever find. She was also a passionate nurse and helped so very many of us learn what it is to be a nurse. None of us will ever be the nurse Mary was. She was a rare treasure. My prayers are with Mary's family and dear friend Janet. As much as I feel her loss, I cannot imagine how much she will be missed by you. I look forward to having her be my mentor in Heaven!

I know that Aunt Mary was very special to you and that her passing is very hard. I never got to meet her, but through you I know that she was a very special person. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the joy of working with Mary, and she was the most amazing, caring, talented, gifted, and self-less nurse I have ever had the honor of knowing. She taught me so much in her quiet, honest way. She was hardworking, dedicated and always an advocate for those she cared for. She will be missed, and our floor and our lives will never be the same.

mary was my friend. I worked with her for 12 years at Lewis-Gale. She was truly a one-of-a-kind nurse; always prfessional and caring to her patients. i will miss the home-grown vegetables from her garden every summer. I know she's rejoicing in heaven now and wouldn't come back to this troubled world if she could. May God bless her family is my prayer. I will miss her so much.
Love

Mary,
Although, our paths never crossed in this life, we will have eternity to get to know each other. Your memory lives on in the lives you touched and the testimony you gave. But for now, I trust you're singing with the angels and serving our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Until then.
Your Sister In Him,
Gwen Goodman
