  2. On behalf of the Society of Air Force Nurses, please know we are mourning with you the death of our sister nurse, Gertrude Schubert Wells. It takes a patriot, willing to give of themselves to other human beings in their time of need, to step forth and join the ranks of our U. S. Air Force Nurse Corps. Your beloved one will be mourned and missed by many who served alongside her. We will share her name in our Memorial Program message sent to our Society of Air Force Nurse members this month, in commemoration of her life and service to our nation.
    With Sincerest Regards and Gratitude,
    Wendy S. Collins, Lt Col, USAF, Nurse Corps (Retired)
