A wonderful woman and nurse who “nursed” me through my medical internship and residency at Easton Hospital 1959-1965. Together we cared for patients until her retirement. She was as stable as the “NORTH STAR” and as caring as a “Mother Theresa”–always performing in a dignified,professional manner. Even after decades-those memories never dim. A TOAST to her 99 years. May she rest in peace. Drs. Frank and Joanne D’Agostino
