Sorry for your loss
Mamie is one of my closest friends. We have worked together since she came to High Point Regional Hospital. She was the sweetest person and would give you the shirt off her back. She also kept it real, because she would tell you exactly how she felt about things. She will be missed. She was my friend, my confidant, and my restaurant road dog. My deepest condolences to her family. She was truly a very special person.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Mamie's passing. I worked with her at Cardiology. I will always remember her laugh, beautiful smile and that little dance down the hall, when she didn't think anybody was looking (or maybe she did.) Mamie's kindness, humor and dedication made our days better at Cardiology. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
