I was so sorry to hear of your Family's great loss today. She had a very sweet and gentle spirit and always a smile to share. I first met Mrs. Peters back in the late 1960's at Doctors West. A few of us had been selected to work there while attending our senior year in high school. I came to respect her not only on a work level but on a personal level as well. You knew that if she was in your presence that you would be well taken care of........wether a student or patient. I would have to say that Nursing with Excellance would
would be an under statement for all that she was.
I am truely fortunate to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her Family.
