My Nana had been enduring for three days. Every nurse went above and beyond. Gwen Hoffman comforted and cared for our family. She gave my Nana a bath, and cared for her, and made her comfortable during her final hours.

I want to recognize Franklin Edwards, Gwen Hoffman, Jake Tupper, Michael Walther, Amber Valdez-Black, Melissa Myers, Kris Spear, Eric Gravel, Justin Snook, Denise Waters, and Marie Flanagan.

Franklin provided constant care and comfort. He was always checking in on us and our Nana. He made us feel like a priority.

Jake was very skilled and supportive and quick to care for my Nana’s needs.

Michael was calm and brought his knowledge to help explain situations to help us during times of fear.

Amber and Melissa weren’t even on my Nana’s care team, yet they saw us in distress and comforted us and gave us a safe place to grieve.

Kris was there to comfort us and our Nana. She was a friend when we needed one.

Eric was strong and comforting and was very professional.

Justin brought his empathy and understanding when we were all scared and hopeless.

Denise comforted us while we were going through a traumatic experience.

Marie was our first nurse. She explained everything when we felt lost and scared.

Thank you to Nurse Gwen and all!
