Magdalena helped me be at peace with my nana's passing and I imagine she has done the same for many others in the past.
Our nana, mom, and wife, D, passed away in the ICU. We were allowed to visit after she had expired which was at 0629, so this would have been on the night shift. Magdalena went above and beyond taking care of our family in addition to caring for the patients she had for the day. Magdalena made us memory handprints of D's hand with beautiful sayings that were personalized for grandkids, children, and D's husband. Magdalena helped me be at peace with my nana's passing and I imagine she has done the same for many others in the past. She truly displayed empathy and compassion for all our family. We wish her the best in all the lives she touches.
