I had the distinct pleasure of taking care of Janet over these last 3 weeks. She was an AMAZING woman and I considered her more than just a patient. My thoughts and prayers go out to her devoted family. I never once heard her complain or have a bad word to say. She always had a smile and was the most gratious person I ever met. I know that I am a better person from knowing her.
God Bless you Janet, you will be missed.
