  1. Thoughts and prayers to you all. Ms. Vivian and I worked together at Chowan Hospital. She was one dressing lady.

  2. We were so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. We both worked with her for many years at Chowan Hospital & lived across the street from her & your Dad in Morgan Park. Laughter surrounded her & we know you have many sweet memories to comfort in the days ahead 🙏🙂
