I am so sorry to hear about the death. I was her patient from age 9 until age 23. I met her a the children's hospital and I got assigned to her when she was opening up her own practice. I practically grew up with her. I have many visits with wonderful memories. From becoming a woman to having my first baby. I'll miss her dearly.
