Danielle was an absolute angel for my Dad and our family. She went above and beyond to care for him and every one of us. Every time we saw her, she gave updates on Dad and always asked if we’d slept, eaten, and taken care of ourselves.

She spoke to him all the time, walked him through everything to provide comfort, and kept him informed about his care. When I asked her for help with one thing, Danielle took three extra steps to make Dad as comfortable as possible.

I remember coming in late one evening, seeing Danielle talking to the night shift nurse about Dad. She gave her an in-depth rundown on Dad, even the smallest detail, like how Dad loved getting his teeth brushed. The attention to detail and care showed us how much love she gives to her patients.

With our permission, Danielle watched one of my Dad’s final sermons, deepening the connection with him and our family as we reached the end. She always told us she was sad she never got to truly meet him, but she was honored to be a part of the care he received in his last days. That small, kind act meant the world to our family. If my dad were here today, I know for a fact he would have felt the same way.

To go a step further, when we signed off on Dad’s organ donation surgery, Danielle moved her schedule around for us. She loved us like we were family. She then rearranged her schedule to be his nurse on his last day, something I’ll never forget. Danielle walked beside us during his honor walk and was in the OR with him through his final moments. I couldn’t have asked for a better individual to care for my Dad in his last days on this earth. I will never forget Danielle, and I will always be so grateful for her care and support. Danielle is a blessing for her patients, their families, and anyone she meets.
