I was a student in '57 and '58 working in Pediatrics at SBH with Mama Levy every chance I had. After graduation, I worked as her assistant head nurse for the next year. She helped to shape my nursing career and was such a positive influence. I just received word of her death tonight and wanted to pay my respects here. I will never forget Mama Levy.
