I am sad to learn of the passing of my cousin and frien, Louise. I remember her being an excellent Phlebotomist. Whenever my Dad, Pete Cousin, was hospitalized, we were always relieved when Louise entered the room. We knew she would be successful on the first attempt to draw blood. And, it was always consoling to see her smiling face. May many wonderful memories be a source of comfort to you during this difficult time.
Love, Carolyn C. Simmons and Family
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
