Dorothy ~ I've been thinking about you now for the last six months, but truthfully I couldn't remember your last name, only the initial G, and that you lived on Penrod. Then looking for a friend's listing, I saw John's. I'm sorry for your loss. You may not even remember me from the SLU School of Nursing - Sally then Wheeler or McCoomb. Later if you'd like to be in touch, I work at Sappington House in Crestwood 314-822-8171 or [email protected] May family and friends comfort you. And the Lord give you peace.
