Ashley means the world to our daughter, M. Ashley provides M with compassion, thoughtfulness, and respect. Ashley listens to M when she is concerned about procedures and how she would like her care. Ashley has played an integral role in M's many admissions. Ashley is a nurse who expresses genuine kindness and interest in M's overall health, including mental, emotional, and physical aspects. Ashley supports M in ways that sometimes we, her parents, can’t, and it brings us much happiness and relief knowing M is being cared for so lovingly and well. We do not know any other way to express our sincerest gratitude to Ashley but to nominate her for this outstanding award- no one deserves it more than Ashley.
