So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

I want to say it was a pleasure working beside Mrs. Stidham. She was always there for each of us, no matter what we needed. She would stop what she was doing to make sure we had what we needed. So knowledgeable in multiple areas but what stands out is her compassion for teaching Nursing students. She was our Rock and I am Blessed for having known and worked with her. She was firm in her decisions and had a heart of gold. It has been and will be difficult carrying on without her. We shared scriptures and one that comes to mind I dedicate to her family:
Blessed Are Those Who Mourn
For They Will Be Comforted. Matthew 5:4

MS Stidham was such a light in this world. She educated so many students at the Baptist Health College. I remember always wanting to get in her skills check off line because I knew it wasn’t just a check off. She took the time with every student to ensure that as clinicians we would be successful and our patient outcomes would be positive. She will be missed. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to learn from the best! Prayers for her family and friends as they celebrate her life.
