My husband was critically ill when Bea Yarnell took over his care. She showed such amazing care, compassion, and skill. I believe she eased my husband's final hours and was my rock. Our 2 daughters were traveling to see their father before he passed. She worked so hard to keep him going until they could arrive. One made it. She saw her dad before he passed, but unfortunately, the other didn't arrive in time.
Bea made sure my husband had all the tubes and lines nicely removed so he looked more like her Dad and not so scary. She made sure he remained in the room until she had her time with him. She went above and beyond in caring for my husband. She treated me kindly, explaining what was occurring. She helped me understand he might be alive but that indeed he had already passed.
My daughter that did arrive on time is a doctor. She had spoken with Bea during her drive from Phoenix. She remarked on how efficient, knowledgeable, and dedicated Bea was. After my daughter arrived, we decided to remove all the life-sustaining equipment allowing him to pass on. Bea was there for me, giving me support and comfort the entire time. She was our angel, helping us through this awful time, the emotional toll it must take on her, I couldn't handle. Thank you.
