One quote that has always resonated with her is from nurse and author Donna Wilk Cardillo:
“When I think about all the patients and their loved ones I have worked with over the years, not all of them might remember me, nor I them. But I do know that I gave a little piece of myself to each of them, and they to me, and those threads make up the tapestry that is my career in nursing.”
