Teresa Bourne's thorough, compassionate care made an impression on the husband of an out-of-town couple. "I know Teresa is the reason my wife is making such wonderful gains towards her recovery," he wrote. "She talks so soothingly to her. Her touch is so loving and so reassuring. She takes extra time to do special things that no one else does."
The husband could not always be at St. John, but said he did not worry when Teresa was there. "She is so compassionate with her professional presence. I have never seen a more dedicated nurse in my life. Teresa is truly an angel in disguise."
