I am writing to express our heartful gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided to our son during his recent hospitalization at St. Rose. Despite the challenging circumstances surrounding his diagnosis of testicular cancer at age 34, the care team demonstrated unwavering compassion and professionalism throughout his stay.

While every medical team member played a crucial role in his care, we would like to highlight James's exemplary dedication and compassion. James, whom our family fondly nicknamed “King James,” possessed a unique gift that significantly impacted our experience. His unparalleled compassion, attentive listening skills, and calm demeanor comforted our son and our entire family. Despite our son’s ability to communicate coherently, James ensured he felt heard and supported throughout every procedure and task. His genuine empathy and sense of urgency were exceptional and made a profound difference during our son’s final day.

While the loss of our beloved son remains profoundly challenging to accept, the compassionate care provided served as a beacon of light during an otherwise dark period. Her dedication to providing exceptional medical support and comfort did not go unnoticed and will forever be remembered by our family.
