During 2021, we lost one of our beloved friends and members of our Legacy Circle, Lynn Gilbreath Bornemann.
On August 31st, family, friends, and clinical staff gathered for the unveiling of the Lynn Gilbreath Bornemann wall which reads “Peace, Love, Courage”. These words were carefully chosen by her family and placed in the Cancer Center to encourage and inspire patients, their family members, and the staff as they enter and exit the building.
Never in all the proud years of our future will her name be forgotten.
