Not sure what to say?

Dr Lane Rutledge was the most exceptional doctor. She treated our son from 1996 to 1998 at Children's Hospital in Birmingham, AL. She is the reason he is healthy and successful today. I have told the story of our experiences with Dr. Rutledge countless times as she was our hero. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She truly changed the world for our family. Blessings to all of her family and friends. The Morrison Family

I still grieve at the loss of this wonderful doctor, mother, and friend. Love and best wishes to Mary Rose and Emma Cate.

Dr. Rutledge, we really miss having you as our doctor. Things are good but you always made them feel great! There will never be a greater doctor than you. We will love you and miss you forever. You were family to us.

So many little things elicit memories of Lane. Wishing peace and strength to Mary Rose and Emma Cate and the rest of the family.

Every time I read an account of a child helped by a wise and compassionate physician, i think of Lane. She was an inspiration to all and has gone too soon.
Love to the girls and the rest of the family.




It has been a year, but I am still grieving the loss of Lane. Wishing strength, courage and love to Mary Rose, Emma Cate, and the rest of The family.

As it gets closer to the anniversery of her passing I can't help but to think of her. She was my doctor for 27 years. She was like a mother to me. She wasn't just an amazing doctor, she was an amazing human. She was like family to me and I miss her all the time. I haven't been to my new doctor yet, guess I'm just putting it off because it becomes real that she isn't here anymore. She would tell me not to be silly and go get checked out. She has been a big part of my and my family life and I...

This is November, 2019 and I still think about Lane. We traveled to China together to adopt. Our baby girls were from the exact same orphanage and even shared a bed in the same room sometimes. Lane helped me so much. She had adopted before, but I was an inexperienced new mother. I will never forget her kindness and her words of wisdom. Thank you Lane! I pray for your family and your girls!

Sending prayers for your family... Dr.Rutledge was my daughters Pediatric Neurologist back in 1991-94. We loved her very much and she was a wonderful doctor. I am very sorry for your loss.
