Much thanks to my long-term friends, Peggy Spute for all her care and unselfish help, Mary Williams for mentoring and always being there and others too numerous to mention.

I just read about LeeAnns passing in the BYU College of Nursing magazine. I went to nursing school with LeeAnn. She was so much fun to be around. I loved to hear her laugh, which she did a lot. I was happy to read about her successful and satisfying nursing career. I know LeeAnn was able to touch many lives for good and the nursing profession was blessed to have her be a part of it. My condolences for your loss. Grateful I got to know LeeAnn.
