All of us at the Linds’ pharmacies (Freeland and Coupeville) enjoyed and appreciated working with Dr. Mules. She was a colleague and patient of ours. Our condolences to the family.
Outstanding caring doctor. Her wisdom will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Condolences to family and friends.
Janet Mules was an esteemed and valued colleague. We were stationed together in New Delhi and again in Pretoria. We enjoyed her friendship, love of life and humor. We will miss her.
I am so saddened to hear about demise of Dr. Mules. She was a great human being and an excellent professional. I worked with her from 1993 till 1995 in old Health Unit (New Delhi, India). May her soul rest in peace.
So sad to hear about Dr. Mules. She was a wonderful doctor. I remember her saying she came out of retirement to fill a great need on Whidbey. What a selfless woman and caring provider. God Bless her.
Dr. Mules saved my life after a near fatal suicide attempt-over twenty years ago. I have recently learned about a missing or mutated gene that is highly correlated with suicidal thinking and behavior.
I am once again facing the monster and beating it with an angel on my shoulder.
Thank you Janet,I will never give up.
