So many great memories of working in the ER at Queens and having Kitty as the charge nurse. She was such an incredible leader there, totally dedicated to the patients and the staff. I was fortunate enough to be one of the only ones that she shared her coveted chili pepper jelly recipe with and now when make a batch every Christmas, I always think of her.
