Violet's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Violet was my patient, but through the short time I had to get to know her, I learned that she was a loving, selfless, and kind hearted woman. Never in the years that I have been a CNA have I met such a tight nit, compassionate and supportive family like Violet's. I could tell that she raised her children well. All with such warm hearts. Seeing them surround Violet in bed was a beautiful moment they let me share, it moved me deeply. I know that Violet is a peace now, and that she is somewhere looking down so grateful for the family she has. I know I would be. Thank You for sharing such a huge chapter of your lives with me. God Bless You All.
