It is really hard for me to just pick one nurse. The whole staff that has been working with me has been fantastic. I've been in and out of many hospitals. This place really made me feel like I want to live longer. My nurse Rayvne is a very exceptional woman. The first time she walked into my life, I felt a comfort about her. It was as if an angel had entered my life. She made me so relaxed; she also had this strange glow about her, that made me just want to become her friend. You could tell she wasn't here for the money.  She is here (because in her heart) she has the need to help people. I believe that is her purpose in life!  I know I only had her as my nurse for two or three days before I am to be released. I do hope maybe I'll get to see her one more time before I leave. (It would be really nice for me). I would LOVE for her to read what I have to say about her. I know that my letter here is probably not giving her the justice she deserves, but I am trying my best to say how I feel about her. The talent she has cannot be taught. It is totally natural in her heart and soul. Every time she entered my room, I felt like I was being touched by and angel! This program is a very good idea in my eyes. But like I said the talent that nurse Rayvne has cannot be taught, it is her nature. I'm going to see if I can get her staff to see if she can come visit me before they release me. I have to give her a big hug. I need more of her aura about me. Because before she entered my life, I had no desire to keep on living. I've been telling myself and asking God to turn my switch off. That I lived my life and I have no more to offer and didn't want to waste space and energy from someone else.

Thank you, Rayvne, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
