Deanna received 4 letters from different family members for caring for their grandfather.

Letter #1-She was so nice and very caring. She kept us very informed and told us the full truth and didn’t sugar coat anything. No matter what, she did all she could for us and tried her best to make us and my grandpa feel comfortable.


Letter #2-Deanna was not only a great nurse but a wealth of knowledge. She made us feel comfortable and brought a family feeling to the atmosphere. She showed great compassion and was honest with us about everything. I think the greatest part was that she stayed after her shift and continued to walk us through the final minutes of my grandfather’s life. I’m very grateful for that and really appreciate all of her help.


Letter #3-Deanna was very kind, professional and caring as my grandfather was in ICU. During his last hours of life she was very kind and extremely caring toward the family. I highly recommend she gets this award because she stayed the entire way and she was great with giving us information when she got it. Thank you for hiring a person like Deanna who is caring and very professional.


Letter #4-She was amazing. She went above and beyond what she needed to do. She was great at keeping us well informed about every step that was being taken. She has a wonderful personality. I could not have asked for a better RN to help us with our grandfather. She asked me if she could be completely honest about grandpa’s prognosis and I said please don’t hold anything back. She was open, honest and compassionate. She stayed after her shift to be with us and show support. She was supportive, compassionate, understanding, competent and overall outstanding. She truly made our situation a little easier to deal with.
