June 22, 2014 at 12:00 amIsabelle was a dear friend and I will sorely miss her. I am blessed to have known her for a number of years. Isabelle was a generous soul and she had such a spark of good humor. It will be sad to visit my mother and not be able to visit with Isabelle at CW any more.

July 13, 2014 at 12:00 amI visited Isabel a few days before I had to leave town on a family medical emergency in early June. What was to be a week-long trip turned out to be a 5 week long trip to care for my sister who is terminally ill. I was not aware of Isabel’s passing until a few minutes ago. Isabel recruited me in 1977 in nursing at Duke. She and I made a few recruiting trips together before she retired. Isabel and I reconnected a few years ago when Isabel befriended my mother-in-law, Dorothy, at Carol Woods. I continued to visit Isabel after Dorothy died. She loved to go the Weathervane restaurant for breakfast! Even in the past few months, when the disease started taking its toll, Isabel was ever so the southern lady with that dry sense of humor. I am so sorry I missed her memorial service. But I am so grateful that I was able to visit and talk with her over the last several years. In her own quiet way, she made her mark on so many lives, including mine.
