Omg! I just seen Mary Beth in June at Pinehurst Nusing Home , where my mother resides. I have not seen her in years since moving to North Carolina. I loved her! We worked together at St. Mary's Hospital and Doctor's Hospital. We also had mutual friends. She was a wonderful person and a good nurse. I will miss you my friend. Rest easy in God's presence. Until we meet again! I'm so glad I was able to see you in June. We just NEVER know the time or hour when Jesus calls us home. Sending prayers to her surviving family and friends
