We were happy to hear of the type of clinic that was opened
by Dr Everhart. I heard about it by a chance meeting with her
in Galax one day. My wife and I were some of the first patients. How happy we were to get to know Dr Everhart and even more pleased with her caring concern for her patients. She took the time to talk and get to know you. She was the last of breed of medical professionals that harken back to the time when doctors visited people in their homes. I feel blessed to have had a few years under her care. Carry on Carole, we share your loss.

It was an honor to know such a smart and caring person, It seems like yesterday she was receiving the Business Woman of the Year Award. You will be greatly missed.
