Missey, your mom was the a wonderful woman. Cheri was the quintessential nurse. She possessed a quiet wisdom and confidence. No question or problem was too hard to solve with her help. Her strength gave others the incentive and the skills to work at becoming excellent nurses You might not realize it now, but you have been learning from her all your life and you will continue to find her loving hand every time you catch yourself saying or doing something the way she did. You will laugh to yourself and say "Now I sound like my mom". That will be her hand on your heart.
