In the words of Chris Van Buren's nominator, who said he couldn't offer enough thanks for the care his father received "Thank you a million times over."

Having to see his father - who suffered from heart failure - in critical condition was very difficult for this son and his family. But Chris' healing hands made all the difference in putting the family at ease. "My dad means the world to me and Chris cared for him; getting him water, checking his vitals, adjusting his bed, and ensuring that his wants and needs were met. Chris did a superb job," his nominator said. "Thank you so, so, so much Chris for your help in caring for my father and my family."
