Marcia

I will never forget the evening I walked into Jim's room at St. Joseph's Hospital. When Marcia saw me she burst into tears. She knew my presence meant Jim was about to have a cardiac procedure which turned out to be coronary artery bypass surgery. I can still see that scene as if it were yesterday.

We had first met in 1985 or 1986 when she asked me to cover her clinical for a couple of weeks. That was my first introduction to Paris Junior College. Several years later in 2004, I took a position at PJC as a nursing instructor. At that time, I learned how great of a teacher Marcia, Donna Gatlin, and Ms. Joan Mathis were. They were my role models. I could only hope that one day I could be come as good of an instructor as they were. Marcia, a great person, great nurse and teacher. I will be forever greatful for your influence.

Your friend

Tom
