Dear Karen Kelliher, My condolences to you and your family. I remember how you used to speak of your mother is such kind, loving ways. I know you are and will continue to miss her. Comfort is only a prayer away. My mother left us 6 years ago; and I still want to reach for the phone to call her. I think of you often and our long busy nights working together at Hinsdale Hospital. Together we all made it through those nights. Nina shared with me about the recent passing of your mother. Love and Prayers, Joy Panganiban
