My Aunt was hospitalized for pulmonary edema. She has diabetes and has been in and out of the hospital over the past 4 years. I could tell by talking to her that Mary genuinely cares about the well-being of my Aunt. She took her time checking everything and even took the time to talk to me about how she was doing. I had a zillion questions and she never once acted in a hurry to leave. This means a lot to me because my mom (my Aunt's sister) passed away in 2012 from diabetes complications. Mary really deserves this award and I hope she will get it because she is a hard working and caring worker. Whenever I walk in this building I am always extremely emotional because my mom spent most of her last few years here. I only wish that I had such a great nurse as Mary to help me understand what was going on when my mother was alive.
