Never before has anyone taken care of me more than you did those six days I was in Intensive Care. I remember your encouragement, telling me I needed to breathe deep and suggesting I take some pain medication to help with the deep breaths. You also told me a little bit about Cebu in the Philippines, which helped me get my mind off of myself. Not only did you care for me, but you showed compassion. Thank you, Cel.

Cel, I think I startled you when I came back to Bay Medical to see you and the doctor. Not the return startled you but the big hug I gave you. I should have been more reserved but I felt and still feel you to be more like a family member than a nurse to me. I could tell others at Bay Medical feel that way too about you. The gentleman that showed my sister and myself to where you were working said to me when I asked about you, "Cel? Oh yes, I know where she works" and he was very happy to take us to your department. Your kindness, I believe, is known by all there.
