I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and recognition for the exceptional care provided by Sara, who looked after my late husband during his stay and final days in the CCCU. Having Sara as his nurse was very reassuring; she was with him more consistently than anyone else. Sara was very attentive to my husband, my children, and me regarding helping us cope with his prognosis.

From the moment Sara began caring for him, Sara showed not only clinical excellence but a deeply compassionate spirit. Sara consistently kept me informed of his condition with clarity and kindness, ensuring I felt supported and understood throughout the process. As my husband's health declined, Sara went above and beyond her duties. On his final day, she arranged for a more private space, allowing my children and me precious time to be with him in a more intimate setting. It was a deeply meaningful gesture that allowed us to say goodbye in peace and privacy.

Sara was his night nurse; on his final day, Sara stayed with me until my children arrived a few hours after her shift ended. I am grateful for her presence, which allowed me time to prepare myself for my children. One of the most touching things Sara did was create a keepsake of my husband's heartbeat for our children. This small yet profound act provided a lasting piece of their father to hold on to, offering comfort during an incredibly painful time.

Sara's empathy, thoughtfulness, and extraordinary level of care made an unimaginable experience more bearable. Sara not only looked after my husband, but Sara also cared for my family with grace and genuine compassion. This letter serves as recognition of Sara's remarkable dedication and the impact she has had on our lives. Sara is, without a doubt, an exceptional nurse.
