Michelle helped my family at a time when we needed her the most, giving advice and care when my father was diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer. Michelle helped us come to terms with this. The end came much sooner than expected; she was there for us throughout this time but not just then, also afterward, which just shows how much of a caring and compassionate nurse Michelle is. She is the kind of Nurse I would that this trust should be proud of.

My father was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer last year and declined very suddenly and died within days of being very active and bright. Michelle gave us so much support as a family and the care that she gave my father was astounding. Whenever we needed to ask something or needed anything, she was the one that was always there. I will never forget her compassion; even after he died Michelle took the time to ask how we were.
