    Dear all, It was my honor to work with your family and sweet, beautiful Zumari as a nurse at the Good Shephard Hospice House. Caring for Zumari has truly changed me as a nurse and a mother. As I said before, I have no understanding of your pain and loss, but I do know that Zumari was so loved and so cared for in his short two and a half years on this earth. I pray that you find peace in the midst of the pain. Respectfully Yours Sara Carson RN Good Shephard Hospice House
