Chris Sarza was my mother’s nurse. My mother was very, very sick and not responding at this time. Chris came into the room, greeted her, took excellent care of her, and always went the extra mile. My mother was on so many medications so Chris was constantly in and out of the room checking on things. Chris also made time to clean her up, put on a fresh johnnie and clean her hair from the multiple EEGs. Also, she answered all my questions and always kept me up-to-date on what was going on. I certainly know that my mother was not Chris’ only patient, but she treated my mother like she was. There are many good nurses at South County Hospital, I met a lot of them due to my mother’s condition. However, I wanted you to know that Chris really stood out from the rest. She was so kind, caring, and compassionate. I will never forget the extreme kindness she showed to my mother and our family. To me, Chris is an example of a person loving what they do. She was truly meant to be a nurse. Sadly, my mother passed away. Gratefully my son and I were with her. Although we are grief-stricken with our loss, one source of comfort is that she had a nurse, a very special nurse in her final days.
