Dearest Connie and family. I´m so sorry for your loss. I remember your mom as well as your dad. I had the pleasure of being a nurse to both. One of my fondest memories was when Ms. Doris and Ms. Ann took a group of employees to their beloved Gibson Island. They gave us the guided tour by bus and treated us all to a lovely luncheon. The most recent memory was a very personal loss to me. She took the time to call me and express her sincere condolences. I will miss her loving ways, although it lightens my heart to think of her and Dorr together again.
