Becky,

Thanks for sharing. We recently unexpectedly lost a nurse I've worked with for over 14 years. I shared these quotes with some of my co-workers. One of them asked where I got them and I told them about this site . . . and then promptly burst into tears. It's just been one of those kind of weeks.
