There are a host of nieces and nephews that she held very dear, but two are special, Charlotte Tillman of Baton Rouge and Wade Sutton of New Orleans. The family wishes to say thank you to the staff of University Health Hospital in Shreveport. Mollie Virginia spent the last week of her life there, first in emergency surgery, then in Surgical ICU, and the last few hours on the sixth floor. The care she received could not have been better, not anywhere. There are far too many staff members to list, but special thanks to Dr. Rachel Cox and Nurse Mary Gay. May God be with all of you.
