I cared for Jean while she stayed at greenwood village south on the sycamore unit. I became a CNA and worked here as my first CNA job. I learned a lot while caring for her. I always felt a connection with her. I found out she was a nurse and I believe that is where the connection came from. I am in nursing school now. I cared for her as if she was my own family and i vow to always care for all my patients the same way. Caring for her was an honor. She will be missed by many.
Many wonderful memories of my aunt. My condolences to all my cousins and their children and grandchildren.
