I cared for Mr. Stephens at COH. He was the best patient! I will cherish our conversations. After my 12-hour shift, Mr. Stephens would always tell me "You take the rest of the night off, that's an order". I am honored to have met such a wonderful guy! I'll miss you dearly. My condolences to Mrs. Stephens and the rest of the family.
