I was Aileen’s ICU Nurse Manager from 1985 to 1992. She was an amazing and kind nurse of excellence! Her quiet and sweet spirit sustained many patients, families, and staff. She was a nurses’ nurse. We drove by LOH today and I found that she died in 2011. Thank you for sharing her with LOH.

Dear Karen, Marty, Joe, Donald and Sam,
My deepest sympathy to each of you and your families. At this time of sorrow, may each of you find comfort in your memories.
June and I had several great visits with your Mother last year. During our visits, we discussed many family gatherings with her; reminding her of several funny incidents which caused her to laugh. Now we cherish those visits along with other memories . . . they are memories we will never forget!
Love,
Julie
