Dear Trisha,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I worked with her for many years–she was a wonderful person… Oh the memories.. It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest sympathy to you…
I am so sorry for you loss– Claire & I had gone through X Ray training together. I always admired her persistence. She kept trying and going even in difficult times. She was older than us and had already had her family. I’m sure it was more difficult to study because of that than us. You should be very proud of your mother— She achieved her goal! She took her job serious and worked very hard. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
I worked with Claire for many years at Wheeling Hospital….she was very unique and special….Claire loved her family very much and her furry pets also…Prayers, Trisha to your family.
