I worked with Mrs. Kennedy at SRMC for many years. She was so kind hearted, loved caring for people and a wonderful supervisor. She was a great role model for all the nurses and took her work to an extra level of care. Her professionalism to all patients & staff was exceptional. RIP Mrs. Kennedy. Prayers for her family.
