    Mrs. Langland was my very first nursing instructor at the University Of Missouri School of Nursing 35 years ago. She taught me to respect my patients no matter how old they were or how sick they were. Because of her I have always called my patients Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. I frequently get asked why I call my patients such formal names and I always reply because of Mrs. Langland.
    I thank her for teaching me how to be a caring professional. She had the patience of a saint. Sorry for your loss.

    I have known Rose Mary since childhood. We graduated in the same class at Tarkio High School. Even though we went to different nursing schools we kept in touch all our lives. Our mothers were also lifetime friends. At my wedding Rose Mary played the violin and Blanche Roberts was the organist. I am so sorry I cannot attend the memorial service because of my own health issues. Am keeping all the family in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

    Rose Mary was one of the smartest and easy going persons that I knew in high school. Every one in the THS class of 1954 looked up to and admired Rose Mary.
