In 1962 when my Aunt Alice graduated from Sparks School of Nursing
in Ft. Smith, a nurse dressed in a starched white uniform dress,
white shoes and stockings, a crisp white hat and a warm wool cape.
How long since you've seen a nurse dressed like that?
Although the dress code changed in the more than fifty year
nursing career of my Aunt Alice,
her passion to care for and about others never changed.
I'm thankful for the sweet relationship I had with
Aunt Alice and for the impact she had on my life.
Aunt Alice celebrated her birthday at the feet of Jesus on December 2.
In a moment, everything changed and yet, faith and family remain steadfast.
Aunt Alice and for the impact she had on my life.
