Tori asked to give some family members a much-needed hug during a very difficult time.
My dad had a heart attack and was on life support. Tori told us that she wished she would have met us under different circumstances and asked to give some family members a much-needed hug during a very difficult time. We are so very blessed to have had her as his nurse and could not express our gratitude for her. I am in awe of how these nurses can do their jobs day after day seeing people die and seeing families grieve and provide them with support and then go home to their own families over and over again. Her kindness and compassion for our dad went above and beyond. She was always available for any questions and was so very helpful. Tori truly is an angel on earth.
