I am greatly touched by the passing of Debbie Wise who was my supervisor when I worked at Memorial Health. She was the kindest and most caring supervisor I have ever had. The loss of her feels as though I have lost a family member. It was never a thought to me she would leave this world so soon. Her attitude was always so upbeat it was not possible to tell she was ever in pain, which makes it even more impossible to believe I will not see her again in this life. My deepest sympathy to her family. I pray for comfort to you all.

My heart has hurt so much as I've watched this journey and hoped and prayed for a different outcome. Apparently, God needed another angel to laugh and bring joy. You've been an inspiration and a fighter. My love goes out to all of you. Please know my prayers continue for your peace and God's comfort.
