My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Pinkham. She touched my life during the time I did her medical imaging. She is an inspiration to me, and her memory will live on and on.

Dear Susan and Bill...your mom was very special to both of us, and we'll remember her fondly through the memories we have of her. Doug remembers meeting her the first time and her serving her 'famous pizza', and I'll always remember one of the first times I'd met her and she admonished that we both 'act like ladies'....she was a feisty and forthright lady, and we'll miss her greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys during this difficult time. love, doug & steph
