To the editor:Thank you for the wonderful article Jan 3. The Visiting Nurse Association of Southeast Missouri has been the perfect place for me and my family since 1981. As I was raising my children, I was able to work at VNA serving mostly the senior citizens of Southeast Missouri. Today we care for all ages from preemies just out of the neonatal intensive-care unit to those facing the hardships of terminal illness. I appreciate anything you can do to help others know about this wonderful organization and fine people caring for so many throughout this portion of the state. Thank you for caring. Chris Pagano did an excellent job. Thanks, Chris.
