Clarissa made it her mission to make arrangements for my children to visit.
I came in on a Thursday morning at 3 am with a severe burn to my leg. Realizing that I wouldn't be going home anytime soon, I started commenting on how I would have to go without my minor children for a week. Clarissa made it her mission to make arrangements for my children to visit. They were able to come in and visit with me in the Resource room. This simple gesture made being away from my family so much more bearable. Her care, concern, and action showed a multitude of compassion and love, and I will remember her for the rest of my life and be forever grateful.
