Sarah was a wonderful nurse to my son. Not only did she provide excellent care to him, she also gave my husband and I overwhelming support. I had the privilege of meeting Sarah on the day my son passed away. Prior to his death, Sarah was there to comfort us and to share special moments that will forever remain in our hearts. Her soft-spoken and angelic presence is what I remember most about Sarah. Her attentiveness to my son and her warmth to all those around her impacted us immensely. During that difficult time, we were able to smile and laugh together, which was a great blessing. Her compassion and genuine concern for our family gave me and my husband strength as we were able to enjoy the last moments with our son. Being surrounded by her positive energy lifted us up. I am truly thankful for her exceptional care, as she went above and beyond her duties as a Nurse. She gave us medicine that didn't come in bottles, or pills, but from the heart.
