So very sory to hear the loss of Mary Elizabeth, she was a wonderful person, and was a great doctor, she brought me thru the change of life, if she had not been there, i would have lost my mind, but she gave me the right meds when i would have to go see her, and they helped, it was a battle for me, so Dr. Karl said one day I want my wife to take a look at u, and see what her opinion is on u, and she done all the right things, and i made it thru, I loved both her and Dr. Karl, they were the 2 best doctors that ever was in Barbour County, we will b praying for all of the family of the days, weeks, and months ahead, just believe and trust in God, and he will b there for u, May God bless all of u.
