Dr. K was a very special. She was a faithful member of the Nash County Medical Society; and through the years that I have been the secretary, we developed a wonderful friendship. We always shared family pictures, events, etc. as well as opinions about what was going on in the medical community. She was a dedicated doctor and her patient’s loved her as well as anyone else that knew her. I will miss her calls and presence at our meetings. My prayers are with Dr. S and her family.
Dr S and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Dr K’s passing. I have fond memories of both of you treating my grandmother for years and then as a drug representative for your office. I always enjoyed talking with Dr K and she was always willing to spare a few moments, even when she was busy. She was a kind and caring soul who will be missed. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
Dear Dr. S. Kumar and Family I am deeply sadden over a loss of of my dear friend and companion at Medical Society meeting Kamlesh. Her kindness will be missed.
Dear Dr. Kumar, I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Kumar’s passing. I have been thinking of her for the last two weeks and had hoped to connect on my next trip to North Carolina. I was a rep that called on the office for 10 years in the 90’s and early 2000s when I lived in Eastern NC. The kindness you both always showed has always been a lesson in my life. I had hoped to stop by on my way through town and tell her that I still make yogurt just the way she taught me. Her butter chicken recipe has been shared and loved by many too. I am deeply saddened to find I will not have the chance to say thank you all these years later. Please know you were both such blessings and wonderful people that made an indelible mark in my career and more importantly my heart which I will always pass on to others. May you and your family find peace at this difficult time. all the best, Mary Beth
