I adored Mary… She was a wonderful friend and the best nurse ever.. I worked with her at Methodist Hospital and not only did I learn a lot from her, we had a really fun time, under very stressful working conditions. She taught me a lot, and much of it, I use in my everyday life to this day.. If you were sick, you would be very blessed to have Mary there, as she knew her stuff and always put the patient first…
Although this message is finding you late, I would be remiss not to say how sorry I am for your loss.. I knew Morey also and they were a great couple… Rest in peace, dearest Mary, and we will see you again… Sending love to the family…
