I met Effie through one of my very best friends, and that was Sharon Harris. She let you know right up front that she was the boss. She was sweet kind, and very caring. And as I read her article I could see why see was a nurse she had so much to offer to everyone who knew her. She was not only Sharon’s sister, she was her very best friend, and she raised her. I was very lucky to have the pleasure of knowing her for the short time that I did. But we all know that she is happy now because she is with the man of her life, and that is what she truly wanted. May God comfort all of you, and let you know that she is truly at peace, and in a wonderful place. May God give you all the strength that you need to get through this difficult time, and know that she is always watching over you from above. Your in my thoughts, and prayers.

Dear Mike, Beverly and Janie:
We first met your Mom and Dad when we moved to seattle in 1973, and became the very best of Friends. After we moved to Spokane. and their return to Oklahoma, our friendship remained as strong as ever. They will remain our hearts always. We are so sorry for your loss.
Gene and Elaine.
I met Effie through Odas who was a favorite boss earlier in my career. Effie always made me feel important. Every time I saw Effie she had the biggest smile and beautiful laugh. I hadn’t seen either of them in years, but I miss them both and am saddened. But I’m also happy because Effie is back home with Odas, who has been waiting for her. Effie and Odas will always be in our prayers.
