Alyssa talked with my mom, visited us at least every hour, adjusted my mom's oxygen mask, fixed her hair, blankets and pillows and was always asking if there was anything she could do for us. The care and attention she provided my mother was more compassionate than I ever could have imagined and more than I ever would ask for. To say Alyssa lived up to the Nursing Department's mission, "To promote the health and well-being in our community through compassionate nursing care" is an understatement. Alyssa made an unbearable, heartbreaking situation the best it could have been—taking on more responsibility without being asked to do so. Her compassion was heartfelt and comforting. The kindness to my family in our greatest time of need will never be forgotten. Thank you for all that you do from the bottom of my heart.
