So sorry for this family. She was a great person and friend. She will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Swisher was who we saw when the kids were sick in Quincy. I will never forget her kindness. The last time we saw Dr. Swisher we came in with our two year old that had ran into my curio cabinet and required stitches. She still has a scar that goes up from her eyelid to her forehead that reminds us everyday how lucky she is that she did not loose her eye. Dr. Swisher under conditions of many of us having to hold her down stitched her up. She had a calming way with people and a great smile. I am glad that she was the one working that day. You are all in our prayers. Heather Lair
