I was sorry to hear of Ms. Mac's passing. Always smiling and never a cross word to or about anyone. She was loved by many. I was blessed to have known her my whole life and to watch her, Lela, Mom, Jimmy, Jasper and Dr. Dennis work in the original ER then in the "new" ER. She will be dearly missed. Heaven has a brighter star shining.

Ms McAbee was as wonderful a woman as they come. I'm glad to have known her-she will be missed.

Laura devoted her whole nursing career to our hospital with complete professionalism and loyalty, after so many of us moved away. However our class was bonded together in love and
sisterhood. It was a fine day when we could get together and talk about training days. And Laura was always there, usually helping with the food. We will miss her fiercely, and her chuckle.
Laura fought the good fight, finished the course, and kept the faith.
Sending our deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
