There's nothing more difficult than the loss of a loved one. For one family, having to say goodbye was understandably very challenging. With the comfort they received that day, paired with one night nurses' compassionate care, gave them the strength they needed to say farewell.

"Colleen Cohen, ICU, is well suited for her work and is one of the finest nurses I have ever encountered. She made sure we were well taken care of," her nominator said. "The empathy and sympathy extended to us as we spent the last few hours with {our loved one} was priceless as she peacefully passed."
