Dr Youngblood was my doctor, friend and angel.
I meet Dr. Youngblood when I moved to Kansas City, MO in 1976.
I found out that I was pregnant only weeks after moving to MO and starting a new position for TWA.
Dr Youngblood was assisting unwed mothers who found themselves in my new found position.
I owe this wonderful man and doctor so much…….he never abandoned me even after my daughters birth.
I am just now finding out about his passing because my annual Christmas card was returned.
No doubt in my mind that this beautiful soul is at peace with all the other saints.
This is many years since he’s died just found out a day ago. I first met Dr Youngblood when I was pregnant with my second son in1966 he delivered 5 of six boys I thought so much f him He was a good Doctor.I remember with my third son I told him how was I going to take care of these 3babies he said God will help you and Susan babies are a blessing from God. After 55 years I will always remember what he told me.Then I had 3more blessings from God I’m 77and I’ll always remember Doctor James Youngblood.
