Thank you so much to everyone for your kind and gracious words. Pat and I will really miss our fun-loving mother.
Sharon and Pat,
I have just learned of your mother’s passing today. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember going to school with Sharon at Valley Hill, and I also ended up in Candler.
Dear Family,
I was a Candy Striper in the 70’s when Violet worked at Pardee. She was a good nurse and it was fun to work with her. I think that she helped influence me to become a nurse. May God give you grace and comfort in these coming days.
In His Love,
Gretchen Wirtz Williams
