The girls( Kathy,Delphine,Stacie,Emily,LaRue, and Cheryl) in the top picture are some great friends and co-workers. I know its because of them that I loved working at Dr. W's office.
Kathy is a dear who taught me so much through her kindness and her love for her family.
Delphine I love because she's from Canada and loves raspberries like me. We thought a like on a lot of situations in the office. Her openness about life I love and she made me laugh more than I can count.
Stacie and I worked together the longest. She and I had baby boys in the same year. I never saw her cry until we said goodbye. She is the rock in the office.
Emily was my partner in crime. We did some dumb stuff but, had fun doing it. I felt like her big sister. She has CF, because of my tender heart I took it upon myself to take care of her when her mom wasn't around. I saw her take her disease and accept it as apart of her life.
LaRue was my other mother. She listens oh so well and gives THE PERFECT advice. I watched her go through cancer treatments and win. She is truly a woman who loves the Lord. She shared and gave so much to me and my family. I will never be able to repay her.
Cheryl just started working at the office but in the short time of her working there she fit right in. She is so kind and so grateful. She laughs and smiles all the time. She is a genuine person.
Mary Jo was another one not in the picture but that I worked with for many years. She and I worked really well together. She and I had many talks. (What is talked at the office stays at the office)
Last but not least is Dr. Wallace. He was a great boss. There were some difficult years in the beginning, but as time went on he mellowed and it was much better. I'm sure a fantastic staff had something to do with it too. He was always in a good mood unless we ran behind. That is why we never (or tried not to) double booked. His wife often made the comment that I was his other wife only because I had worked with him for so long and I could read his mind while we were doing procedures. After 18 years if I couldn't then there would have been something wrong with me.
I miss working at Dr. Wallace's office because of the comments above and it was my home away from home.
