Steve's family wishes to express deep and abiding gratitude to
the many caregivers who helped him throughout his life; particularly those who
showed kindness and compassion at the end of his life. It is recognized that
these people work tirelessly under challenging circumstances for little pay.
They deserve our support and appreciation for the kindness and care they
provide our loved ones.
This is an excerpt from Steven McGovern’s obit in the Sioux
Falls Argus Leader. The obituary is
expertly written, a loving tribute to a man who had a famous father. It is lovely that the McGovern family choose
to highlight Steven’s caretakers. This
is a very nice tribute to those that are undercompensated and rarely appreciated
for the difficult work they do.
When my father and Mark's father were in their last days the nurses of hospice swooped in like angels, we are forever grateful for the work they did. One of our daughters works as a CNA in a Vent unit; she is a very caring young woman. I know families are grateful for the care she and her co-workers provide to their loved ones.
To all of my friends and family in healthcare; especially those in
nursing homes and hospice, thank you! There is not enough recognition and certainly
not enough compensation for the difficult job you face every day.
