I remember meeting your Mom & Dad during our college days at Mater Dei! She & I talked quite a few times about the Nursing Profession! Many years later, I ran into her at a "BOCES" conference ( I taught @ St.Law.Co. Northwest Tech. LPN Program), and we shared a few good laughs, catching up! She was a great lady and a true asset to the Nursing Profession. Sending my deepest condolences to your family. Marla Kinch
