Dr. Irma Coto

Dearest Irma, when you came into our lives i had no idea of who you were or your skills as a therapist. Many years later i now know you as an extraordinary human being. Your deep caring for your patients and yes, your friendship, because that is what our relationship became, impacted our lives in so many ways..
Joe, meeting you was an added bonus. i know your loss and that of your family runs deep, but i also know that you are aware that Irma lived a beautiful giving and positive life and impacted so many people with her loving ways. She was truly one in a million as a Woman, Doctor, Wife and Mom. Much love to you all from the Quinn family xxx

Irma came into my life just a few months before hurrican Irma hit. I used to tease her that she was a force stronger than any hurricane...in a positive way if course. She had a small therapy room in a medical building in Tavernier, then an even smaller one. Some of my greatest memories of break throughs happened there. After the storm, she no longer practiced there. She was always so flexible with when and where we met for therapy. She worked around my school and work schedule to make it more convenient. Over the course of time I grew to love her so much. I remember the first time she called me friend and I was taken off guard cuz your therapist shouldnt be your friend..right? Not so with Irma. After Irma got covid and finally came home, I was able to visit her and finally be a friend to her too. After that the connection grew deeper. Therapy was always helpful and I developed some good skills and made progress in deep rooted issues. But our friendship meant the world to me. It meant so much to me that she trusted me enough to share some of her feelings with me too. My heart is broken. Joe, Im glad I was able to meet you too and get to know you a bit. I know my hurt is miniscule in comparison and I pray you will find solace in knowing how much she loved you and that you gave your all to her til the end!! You and your family will continue to be in my prayers!
