She truly made a bad situation- better. She is the reason we have good memories of the last days with our dad.
My father-in-law had a massive stroke, which left him brain-dead. We spent 6 days in an ICU room. Our hearts and spirits were broken. Not only did Tabitha truly treat our father as family, but she also treated us as family. She laughed with us, cried with us, and reassured us no matter what decision we made- it was the right one. She made sure our father was comfortable, every second she was there. She made us feel so comfortable, we would sigh with relief every time we saw her coming into the room! During our time there so many doctors told us different things, no matter what confusion or questions we had, Tabitha was there to help us. She truly made a bad situation- better. She is the reason we have good memories of the last days with our dad. I don’t look back and hate that week, it was filled with love- due to her! She is the reason we will forever go to University! I will forever tell everyone about her! She is beyond amazing at her job! She must have been made to be a nurse!
