Sorry I couldn't be there with you but I have a bad cough and don't want to spread anything around. One of my best memories is staying with all of you when my mom was having her babies. Love to you all

Charlie, I'm sorry to hear that your mother passed. She certainly enjoyed a long life and I'm sure it was a good life, also. Our thoughts and paryers are with you and your family.

To the family of Mrs. Absher,
I was so sorry to read about the loss of Mrs. Absher. She was always a bright spot in my day when she would come to see Dr. B. After we closed our office she was one of the patients that I missed seeing the most. When she came in she always had something kind and encouraging to say. Please know that you all are in my prayers and I trust that the words of Jesus will comfort you, "I will never leave you nor forsake you but go with you all the way, even unto the end of the world." He cares for you and He will be your comfort.
In Christ,
Diane Whitt (Dr. B's office)
