Mr. Rainey and family,
My Mom (Pat Gornet) and your Mom worked together with Dr. Lansing years ago. Your Mom was always so nice and sweet and my Mom had the highest regards for her as a person and nurse. When my Mom died in 1997, Betty was so supportive of our family in our loss. Prayers to all. Mary Sexton
