I was in the hospital for tests, and the night before the test, I realized I didn't have my son's picture with me. Since he had died, I always brought his picture with me in the operating room. I was crying when Olivia and Alex came into my room I told them I didn't have my son's picture with me, and I was very upset. When my son died, my youngest son made a memorial to him on YouTube, and at the end of the memorial he put my son’s picture up. I told the girls all this then I went to sleep. I woke up at 5:00 am, and the girls were at the end of my bed with a picture of my son! I was floored that these girls took the extra step to help take my anxiety away, it was such a thoughtful and kind thing. These women are right where they should be I will never forget what they did! Needless to say, I brought the picture with me and now I keep it on my kitchen table so I see him from every angle.

Thank you, Alexandra, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
