Dear Bunny, I have fond memories of you and Joe during our time together at Blytheville AFB during the mid 50s. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Joe. He deliverd two of my daughters, Jeanne and Barbara, and you & Joe were the Godparents to Barbara. I hope you are doing well.

I found out about Joe through my best friend, Lynne who had worked with him during his residency at Misericordia Hospital. She said if you are moving out to the West Chester area and you are pregnant you have to go to my friend Joe Abbott. Well I did, and he delivered 5 of our ten children and also a few miscarriages along the way. He had the same religious views as I had and that made me very comfortable. He was a kind and loving person and always talked about his beautiful family. We kept in touch over the years sending Christmas cards and family pictures.I was one of his first patients when he opened his practice on high street.May God bless each of you in a very special way and he will be missed. The world will miss a very special man.

Dear Abbott Family,
My dear Mother was a patient of this Doctor and always had sweet and endearing thoughts to say about him. Mom had many miscarriages and this wonderful Doctor was able to let her deliver two babies, one being me.
I always remember her talking about how Doctor Abbott helped her.
Thank you.
