  • So sorry to hear of the passing of Ms. Coover. I got to know her while working with her as one of my patients in a nursing home. She was one of my first patients, when I was still “wet behind the ears” as a fresh graduate. Her being so sweet and kind helped to allay my anxiety of working for the first time out of school. I’ll always remember Ms. Edna. Please accept my deepest condolences, and may the “God of all comfort” provide you with peace during this difficult time. – 2 Corinthians 1:3
