John and family,
Being on call for the GI Lab I frequently heard your mom's voice say "I am so sorry to call you again but Dr. so and so needs you". Of course she was always pleasant even though I'm sure she could detect the grouchiness in my voice. Be comforted by the warmth of God's unending love.

I remember your sweet voice over the PBX at the hospital. It was the first voice the outside world heard when they called Memorial Hospital. I remember the sugar cookies you brought to the office. They were the best cookies ever. I'll miss you my dear sweet friend. RIP Ireana
