When I was 18 years old and was a fresh employee at St. Anthony's in the ER, this lady made me feel calm every time I was in contact with her! She was a tremendously amazing woman. We had lost contact for 10+ years, but I then got to run into her quite often at Conway Hematology Oncology because I made sure I was working the lab on the days she came in. She had the most amazing heart (even offered for me to become her bed mate at College Park so we could play cards).
I just want to say, Jennifer H, she was always SOO proud of you! She would come in just bragging how well you were doing and even brought in pictures constantly. I am sure you know how proud she was of you, but she boasted to EVERYONE. I wish you all peace during the coming days.
Sincerely,
Tiffany A Lowe - Morrilton

Arlene, I was so sorry to hear about your loss. We have such great memories of your sweet mom. After so many years I was glad to see her a couple of times over the last several months. Our last meeting was outside "On The Border Restaurant" here in Conway, as you two were arriving as I was leaving. I have a great memory of that surprise encounter. I'm praying for you and your family during this time. We love you and your family.

Jennifer,
I am so sorry for your loss. You know that everyone at the hospital absolutely adored your grandma! I am so thankful to have worked with such a compassionate, loving woman. May we all "grow up" to be like her when we are grandparents!!!
Love you girl,
