I was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I came into the emergency room with stomach pain. Lori was by my side throughout numerous emergency room visits for three weeks straight. She went above and beyond, and I don't think I would have made it through some moments had she not been there. She hugged me when I needed it and took over when I couldn't speak. I've never experienced such an amazing nurse before. She is something special.

Now, when I need to go to the emergency room, I will call ahead and check to see if she is there. When she sees me pull up, she comes right outside with a wheelchair and takes me straight to a room and tells the doctor what's going on. Words can not begin to give justice to the amount of gratitude I feel. She has made this life-changing experience a whole lot easier with kind words, hugs, and support. I feel extremely lucky to have her as a valued member of my support team. I feel like I'm not giving her justice. But I'm struggling to find the right words.
