    Ms Crosskey and I developed a sweet friendship – it started 7 yrs ago as I became one of the medical assistants who was part of her care team. We visited every month for a few minutes before her doctor appts, she always knew she could ask me anything she needed and I would facilitate it for her. I will miss our monthly morning chats. She was a a wonderful woman.
