Kathy,
We wanted to thank you with all of our hearts for the wonderful care that you provided to us during this most difficult time of our lives. Your sincere kindness and compassion allowed us to be strong and to get through those days in the hospital.

We felt at ease and comforted with your excellent care, knowledge and skills. The trust that we felt with you can not be described.

We appreciate the time that you spent answering our questions, guiding us and taking care of us and our boys.

Everything that you did from start to finish we acknowledge, appreciate and thank you kindly for.

We know that our experience would have been so much more difficult without your care and attention.

Kathy, thank you so very much for being by our sides and for your care and compassion.

With sincere gratitude.
