Cantrell Family,
Sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She always had a smile on her face and a unlimited amount of hugs/kisses for the dialysis staff. She talked all the time about how well her children took care of her....you all have much to be proud of. Your mom taught me so much in such a short time. I will never forget her. Thank you for allowing me to take care of her. Much Love, Jennifer Evans (Dialysis Nurse)
