I was Nurse Bea Relph's patient and I was so sick, I did not even know anyone. I can say that during my sickest hours Nurse Bea was there for my children and sisters who had traveled to be with me and my husband.
Amidst the chaos of my progressively worse condition, Nurse Bea was so kind and sincere and she gave my family peace and hope. They continue to speak about nurse Bea to many others. That's why it's important for me to share how she changes the lives of those she comes in contact with, making a positive and lasting impression of those she cares for.
I know my family can be demanding and difficult at times but she obviously embraced them with her extraordinary kindness and professionalism. I want to thank Nurse Bea for being there for me and my family.

Sometimes you come across people that make a lasting impression. While in Alabama I met a woman named Bea. Ms. Bea is someone who when she smiled, you smiled. When she spoke, it was from the heart. When she hugged you, you felt as if you had been blessed. After just talking to her, you had a smile on your face and it felt like you had been given a gift. She made you feel like you have a friend for life.
One day I gave Ms. Bea a bite size pack of candy and you would have thought it was a dozen roses. Ms. Bea was so appreciative of the simple kind words we gave her and was an amazing lady. She inspired me to always give others a heartfelt thank you and to look at every gift, each kind word, and every smile as if it were gold. Here's to you, Ms. Bea! You are truly one of a kind and made my trip so amazing. Hugs to you!
