Diane, what a fabulous nurse you were. Because of you many many people were able to stay in their homes as they recovered from illness , surgery, traumas and falls. You brought a calm, intelligence into the home, assisting what could be changed and never judging others. You were instrumental in helping the rehab department dove tail with home health with your weekly stops in the office for paper work and Patient updates. No matter how heavy , difficult the case load, you brought calm, humor and science. Thank you for caring about the health of the county one person at a time . You made the difference between surviving and thriving . It was a pleasure to work with you.
Dan, sorry to hear of your wife’s passing, may all of the great memories help you through this difficult time. She is in a better place, our thoughts and prayers are with you, RIP Diane.
