Many of her suggestions will, no doubt, be 

 copied by greater hospitals in the time to come, 

 for her appreciation of the needs of the little 

 patients was so intimate that the application 

 to her was simple, indeed. 



As her physician I saw her under every 

 condition. Her capacity for uncomplaining 

 suffering was unequaled in my experience 

 and her bravery was the more striking be- 

 cause her Intellectual appreciations of things 

 generally told her with unerring precision 

 just how serious each of her heart attacks 

 really was, and it was impossible to deceive 

 her. In the midst of it all she would inquire 

 for each of my patients who were seriously 

 sick, be it a poor negro or an intimate friend. 

 It was no uncommon thing after a visit to 

 her, when she would quiz me about some 

 patient's needs, to find on my next visit that 

 the ministering angel from her own bed of 

 suffering had sent a messenger laden with 

 delicacies of all sorts, but the greatest of 

 these was the loving message accompanying it. 



I had received so much from her hands 

 that I was constantly overwhelmed by it. 

 Not the least of the blessings for which I 

 have to thank her was the good advice which 

 always proved unerring. Whether It was a 

 professional matter or one of most personal 

 nature, her advice was clear cut and precise 

 and never at fault. 



Surely she being dead yet speaketh.
