The visit was nice. I was there to visit Elizabeth Walker. Nurse Walker greeted us with a beautiful smile. She walked to the patient's room with us. She greeted Elizabeth with a warm hello and smile. Elizabeth was not really alert but she took time with her just as if she was. I really appreciated that gesture. As I left Elizabeth's room I saw Nurse Walker busy with another patient. She wished us well as we left. She never stopped working with her patient. Nurse Walker is truly a blessing to the patients and families.
