    This was my chiropractor! I loved this lady, so kind, helpful and caring to her many customers. Very hard to believe. Hoping whatever was going on works out. She helped me tremendously during my pregnancy and with advice for natural ways to treat anxiety. :(

    Dr. Dempsey is a wonderful health care professional. I was very sad to hear this. She must have been under more stress than she could bear. Too bad people or so quick to judge or laugh at the misfortunes of others. TIme for society to start showing more support and care for those struggling.

    Boy, people don’t know,anything nowadays. You gotta get the papers started burning on the eye and turn it off. It would be a careless “accident,” then! . . . Or so I was told by a friend of a friend of an acquaintance’s brother.

    looks like the warden will be getting some massages and free chiropractic care the next week or three. Maybe she’s not a good neck-cracker? lol
