Thank you, Robin, for all you did for my grandpa
I just want to say Robin gave me the pleasure to know her while treating my grandpa, who had stomach pain and blood pressure issues. She treated him with care and respect even though my papa hit her while they were treating him. I still think about how sweet she was after their shift and how she stayed to ensure he was stable. She even offered to help the oncoming nurse. I remember her saying, "Don't worry, we will get his blood pressure up by the end of my shift." She was able to get it up. Even though it took a lot not to react when he hit her in the face, she stayed professional and kept me in the loop on what was happening while I was there. What really stuck out to me was that before she left, she turned to me, gave me a hug, and told me she hoped all went well with him.

I was blessed to have such a sweet and caring nurse to help my grandpa when he could not help himself. Thank you, Robin, for all you did for my grandpa and that your kind actions did not go unnoticed! With a heavy heart, he passed away two days later, but you did everything you were able to do, and I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. You even made sure to get him a glass of water before you left because he kept asking and couldn't until after all of his tests. You are an angel living amongst us! Thank you!
