Yesterday

Mrs. Emerson was my nurse 40 years ago when my son was born at Whiteman Air Force base hospital. What a calming presence and a wonderful caring person she was. She spoke so positively about her own son. She was a blessing, and I'm sure you have loving memories of her.

My prayers go out to the Emerson family. She was a great lady. In fact, that's how I always addressed her, "Lady"! She would return with a "Oh, "LynnPaul"! May she rest in Peace.
