Dear Sharon,
I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of my aunt. These past few weeks have been really hard for my family with my aunt and grandma being seriously injured after being struck and run over and my grandma passing because of her injuries. My grandma was like my second mom and cared for me ever since I was born. My aunt has spent the last few years of her life, 24/7 as a caretaker. Leaving behind school and her goal of a career as an x-ray tech. As I am still trying to cope with the loss of my grandma, I find myself having to try hard to say stay strong for my aunt. She sacrificed so much for her mom and she has to deal with not only emotional pain but also physical pain. You showed so much care and compassion to her. She would always tell me how great you were when you'd leave the room. She told me that you go above and beyond helping her feel as comfortable as possible even if it means more work for you. She really thinks of you as the gold standard of patient care and I couldn't agree more. Your kindness and patience made her feel more relaxed and at ease. During this hard time, I could rest easy knowing that you were always there to check up on her. I can't thank you enough, there aren't enough words I can write to show how grateful I am and how much I appreciate you. I want you to know that you left a big impact on me and my aunt and that I will never forget your kindness. I wish you the best always and forever. Thank you for being an amazing person.
