Many years ago, I was in the hospital with a serious illness. Melissa was most everyday my nurse. I remember feeling so comforted by her. I would always start my day by asking if she was on duty. Sometimes I would cry if she was not on duty that day. She was a wonderful caregiver and I remember her to this day and think of her often. She was truly an amazing nurse and person. All of you should be so proud of her. My prayers are with the family.
