She is an exquisite flower that regularly exhibits sunshine, hope, and beauty.
My mother was very sick and needed an ICU bed. Because there were no beds available, she was placed in PCU as an ICU patient. Libby truly went above and beyond in the care she provided. She talked to my mother like she was her own family. We could not be more thankful for Libby. She gave her whole self on a non-selfish basis to our family at our most critical time. I believe Libby is the reason my mother has made such an improvement. I’m not completely sure “Daisy” is a good description of Libby. She is an exquisite flower that regularly exhibits sunshine, hope, and beauty. She is so special. I hope during these trying times of COVID, and as an RN, Libby can be recognized and treated like a queen or princess for a day. She is so very deserving to be cared for too. Libby even picked up shifts to follow my parent’s journey and help us navigate. She was a lifesaver for us mentally. Libby was cheerful and concerned, sensitive, and caring. My father was also admitted to the hospital during this same time. She made sure both of my parents were together as my father is the primary caregiver for my mother. She lifted stress from our family and took over when needed. She is truly an angel and has our hearts forever!
