I have been thinking of you Tish and Kathy. Still grieving my own mom so much. I include you in my prayers during your journey.
I loved your mom’s joy and I felt loved and cared for by her. I am remembering when I last saw her while I was with my mom, she knew our voices and mom and I smiled as we were together.
lovely, gracious lady.

I was fortunate to have worked with Liz on 3rd floor at the old St Mary’s in the 1970’s. I last visited her last summer when she was living at Bradford Villa. We had such a nice visit. She was a very lovely lady who always had a smile on her face and a great Nurse. I learned so much from her. Remember the good times!
