Several times Jason lovingly touched my dad's arm, hand, hair, and face; Jason even kissed my dad's forehead.
My father was admitted into the emergency room with end stage COPD. He was moved from the ER and by the grace of God we were given Jason Stinnett as our nurse!!! I have never seen such kindness, patience, compassion, and love demonstrated by a complete stranger! He went above and beyond any expectations, we could have ever imagined!

Here are several moments you should know about when Jason demonstrated these amazing qualities: Jason continually informed us of all the things we would encounter regarding the process to make my dad "comfortable" along with the "end of life" process. Jason listened to many stories while my dad and his wife were reminiscing (and with great interest). Several times Jason lovingly touched my dad's arm, hand, hair, and face; Jason even kissed my dad's forehead.

After Jason's shift was over, he came back to our family asking if he could do anything else for us. When my dad opened his eyes toward the end, Jason informed me what a precious moment I was given. After my dad passed, Jason carefully prepped him showing great respectfulness. To top all this off, Jason told us it was his honor to help us during this difficult time. I can't imagine having to go through something this horrendous with a nurse who didn't share Jason's wonderful qualities. God was with us every step of the way!!!
