Guest Book

I went to Hillcrest today, but could not get to the ceremony due to the cars from another funeral. Barbara and I worked in the precert department at MCG. Later she became the manager. She was always calm, thoughtful, and fair. I posted Barbara's obit on Facebook. Kim Richards RN, Nancy Starnes RN, Julie Brown LaPierre RN, and Rose Weser RN expressed their sorrow. It is sad that her wonderful spirit is gone from this world. I know she will always be close to her family. Lorinda Fournier. RNKFBEHB5

Barbara was a wonderful nurse and coworker. We were nurse mangers together and both left that roll in the same year. She went on to work in Utilization management and again as a nurse manager. She encouraged me to change directions in my career as a nurse and gave me a packet that was intended for her. That was an application for the WOC nurse school at Emery University. For the last 20 years of my nursing career I was a successful CWOC nurse. She truly changed my nursing career. Cindy Bufford
