A few memories and thoughts recently shared by family and friends:

Aunt Trudy: "At Grandma’s 90th birthday party in NY, I broke a vase and it sliced my thumb! She followed me into the ladies room, got a bandaid from the bartender and took care of me! If not for her, I probably would have needed sutures! Love and miss her, such a sweetie! 💕 "

Ashley M: "I ripped a hole in my scrubs top and Haruno sutured it closed for me so I could get through the rest of the day!"

Ashley K: "When she told me a story of a girl she went to school with - she was having a hard time on patients taking the dogs temperature and she asked her what hole? Graham told her ‘top hole’ ….

She then always said ‘top hole’ when taking temperatures at work. 😆"

Jessi P: "One of my favorite memories is me showing her how I could rest the strap of my purse on the top of my butt when my shoulder gets tired. She wanted to try, and it slipped right down to the floor cuz her butt was so much smaller than mine. We laughed so hard we almost peed our pants!! Also, in general, I loved all our days together at work bc we would laugh all day long!"

Lindsey C: "In therapy this weekend, I had to fill out a questionnaire that will help me to reconnect with myself. Question #15 "Who am I missing in my life right now?"

I wrote "Haruno" on the line.

I saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3 later that same day... and there's the tiniest mention of something Haruno loved in the last scene of the movie. I smiled so big."
