    So sorry to hear of Leona's passing. We met as nurses at LIJ and worked together until she changed specialty and I left for the corporate home care and then the health insurance world. We then lost touch. Leona was a great nurse and an even more fabulous person and friend.

    Sorry to hear of Leona's passing. She was a good friend and fellow Red Hatter. We had many great times in Labar Village in Stroudsburg. May she test in peace. Clair Oneil
