A year ago, Mary Taylor Jackson would have been just a name of a person I did not know. Six months later, it is the name of a person who has meant so much to me. Mary Taylor is an intelligent, compassionate professional who is very dear to me. In some of my darkest times, Mary Taylor always had a big smile and definitive answers to my many questions. encouraging words and compassion beyond words. Mary Taylor, during our life's journey, we meet someone who profoundly impacts our lives, and you have impacted mine, and I will never forget you, your care, or your going the extra mile during one of the most challenging parts of my journey. You are truly remarkable and a constant ray of sunshine. I thank you for all that you have and are doing for me and all the other patients with whom you come into contact, because I know you give your best to everyone. Your kindness, caring, and encouragement are such a strength to the patients with whom you work. Thank you for being you.
