Clara stood by our side every minute ... gave us hugs, and wiped our tears. She tried so hard to make us comfortable even though she knew our lives were being torn apart.
Clara is the most caring, knowledgeable nurse my family and I have ever come across. She was phenomenal with my mother, who was very ill. Even though she knew how sick my mom was, she was comforting and worked extremely hard. She took such good care of my mother. She never left her side, and she always had an answer for all of my family's ongoing questions. She truly cared... her actions and comfort towards us were extraordinary. My mom took a turn for the worst, and at that point, we knew the outcome. Clara stood by our side every minute ... gave us hugs, and wiped our tears. She tried so hard to make us comfortable even though she knew our lives were being torn apart. My mom's heart had beat for the last time at 1:02 pm... Clara did everything to try to make it easy, even though she knew it could never be. My family and I can never thank Clara enough for all she has done for us and for our mother. I'm so grateful that my mom had a nurse like Clara taking care of her during the last two days of her life. Clara proved that there are still genuine good people around!
