Candace showed an act of compassion above the usual compassion all good nurses show. Without even realizing it, she was gently brushing my dad's hair back while talking to us about discontinuing the ventilator. She was truly and heartily in-touch with our dad and us, yet maintained professionalism at the same time. We wanted to take her with us when they moved dad to another room. We'll never forget her and she eased so much of our pain.
