  1. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of your Mom. She was the Charge Nurse on the night shift and I was a brand new nurse on the evening shift. She was a very special lady and much loved by patients & staff alike. I can only imagine how very much she was loved by all her family. Please accept my sincere condolences.

  2. Thank you Norma- for all you taught me as a newish nurse and a new mother during our time at Goodall- and for piercing my ears on break one night! I have so many good memories of that time and you were the star!
