LeAnn cared for our baby boy in the NICU. She was very compassionate and caring as she gently took care of him and explained what was happening to us along the way. She came in on her day off to be with us when we had to do the hardest thing we have ever had to do - remove the ventilator from our one-week-old son. She stayed in the room and was there as a comforting presence. Her wisdom and knowledge helped us make some difficult decisions and made that time less fearful. After our baby was in the arms of Jesus, she gently washed his body and prayed over him. The compassionate care she showed, even at that time, was a soothing balm for our aching hearts. LeAnn then attended his memorial service and showed that she cared beyond that little hospital room.
