This past January was one of the most challenging times for me and my family. We lost my father. He was a wonderful man—very lovable and caring. He loved to talk, tell stories, and share jokes, and he had a great sense of humor. While we were in the hospital with him, we had some of the best nurses and doctors caring for him. Two nurses who stood out the most were David Neste and Taylor Anderson. They went to bat for us on numerous occasions, answered many questions, and were with us when he passed. They never complained and were always so lovely and caring. With everything that was going on, our family members ensured that there was always someone with my dad from early morning until midnight. David and Taylor always let us know what had happened when we were not there and ensured that there was another check on all his readings and vitals before we left at the end of the day. Even if we didn’t all go together, we would get a check done to make sure my father was okay.


When we spent one night at the hospital because he couldn’t go to hospice care, there were a ton of visitors that day. They provided us with blankets and pillows and checked on my father and us throughout the night. They went above and beyond in my dad’s care and our care. David and Taylor should be recognized and congratulated for their love and support during a difficult time in our family’s life, and for going above and beyond in their job of caring for my father! Thank you, David and Taylor! This is just a small example of how much you mean to my family. There are no words that can fully express how much you mean to us.
