Guestbook

  1. Susan, I was so sad to hear of your Mother’s death. I want you to know how much I thought of your Mother. She was quite a lady and I always enjoyed visiting with her and having her in Sunday School. I will miss her sweet smile and spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. God bless.

  2. Susie, I really enjoyed working beside Doris for many years when Dr. Andracchio and Dr. Thorp shared an office. She was a special person. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. Carol Lancaster

  3. Susie, I know how devoted you have been to your mother. Sorry the time has come to have to be without her. In time you will be able to accept her demise. Just want you to know I’m thinking about you and remembering my own Mom in doing so. Pat Wooten

  4. Thank you very much for your comments and prayers! Mother loved working with you and she talked about it often even close to the end.

  5. Dear Susan & Allan It is with deep sadness that I read, and now write about mothers’ passing away. Doris was my original and for many years my only secretary for my practice at Nash Anesthesia Associates. There were many late afternoons that she would patiently get me straightened out about our accounts and still listen to me complain about the OR.(We were alone in the early days and could only moan to each other). Mother was intelligent, very conscientious, and dependable. My wife Sylvia and I send our sincere sympathy and prayers, With Love Dr Andracchio
