CHANGING OF THE GUARD

My boss for the last 17.5 years is retiring this month and what a loss it is for our department.

She was the best Head Nurse I worked for in my 30 plus years as a nurse.

She set the bar hi for her staff.

She trained me on the Heart Team

[ and what fun that team was, long hours but laughs that just made  time fly ]

OK maybe not "fly" but we did have fun.

She left the Heart Team to be Head Nurse of the OR for the last 15 years.

She was funny

had a sharp wit 

and a temper that went with it but rarely seen.

She made BEAUTIFUL jewelry to keep herself sane when she was not at the hospital.

But the cutest thing of all she rode a little motor scooter to work.

RR will be  MISSED beyond  all imaginations.

This quilt was commissioned by the Management team for me to make for RR.

I sure hope RR likes it because I sure liked working for RR these past years.
