It is with heavy hearts and complete shock that we say goodbye to our dear friend and coworker, Michael. A nurse of incredible skill and compassion, he cared for every patient as if they were family. His talent was unmatched, his dedication unwavering, and his ability to handle even the most chaotic shifts with a smirk and a well-placed joke was nothing short of legendary.
Michael leaves behind a void that no one could replace. His kindness, quick wit, and amazing sense of humor will be remembered and missed by all of us.
Rest easy, and may your memory be a blessing.
Amber

Or just need a shoulder to cry on.
