Kathy Wilson is Scyrene community's Florence Nightingale
Cindy Garrick

Scyrene is a really great community. When someone is sick or hurting, the members of the community want to help. We have a diversity of talents and skills to rely upon.

For example our Florence Nightingale is really named Kathy Wilson. She is our resident nurse. She works with the fire department. She never takes her phone off the hook that I know of. Almost all of the residents of Scyrene have called upon her services at least once if not more often. She has been asked to dress wounds, take out stitches, give shots and even to try to save lives by administering CPR, until the ambulance could arrive or the doctors see the patient at the office. She has been available to hold hands with dying people and offer comforting words to wreck victims.

I've never seen her when she is not smiling. She handles the church finances at Salem Baptist. She handles her job at Grove Hill Memorial Hospital; and as if that's not enough, she is also a good cook.

Do you have anyone in your community that helps keep things steady? If you do then I think you should remember to tell them how much you appreciate their efforts.

Thank you Kathy! And thanks for the Chocolate Delight recipe.
