As painful as it was knowing we were near the end, he made us feel more comfortable knowing she was in great hands while being there.
My sister spent a few days with Brett in his unit before we took her home on hospice. He was absolutely wonderful to her and all of us as a family. He took the time to explain anything we had a question about and never seemed like we were bothering him. He even took the time out to go over her lab work with me since those were the things, I was interested in. As painful as it was knowing we were near the end, he made us feel more comfortable knowing she was in great hands while being there. My sister was a 40-year-old fighter against cancer and man did she fight. He took the time to listen to our needs and wants and is an amazing addition to your staff. We as a family would love to see him celebrated for all his hard work and want him to know that in our darkest moments, he made them a little less dark. We will never forget him. Thank you.
