Employee Recognition

Aaron, Alvin and Matt

12/18/2019 you responded to a call I made on behalf of my wife, Karla. You responded to our home in a few minutes, faster than I expected. When you arrived my wife was scared, and in great pain. You quickly assessed her needs, and through your skills, kind- ness, and reassurance got her down the stairs into your ambulance and to the hospital safely. Afterwards, she told me how much she appreciated all that you did for her in those very frighten- ing moments. Karla died on 12/20/2019 following a second surgery that was believed could save her life. She suffered a ruptured colon with complications. In my heart, you three men gave me an extra three days with my wife of 33 years. She was the love of my life and those three days meant everything! Karla was a professional artist. The cover of this card is one of her paintings. It is about “pain and loss” specifically rising from “pain and loss” through God’s grace and our own determination. You men deal with a lot of pain and loss in your work. Please know that it has helped me to rise from my pain and loss knowing that Karla was well taken care of , and that there are men like you in this world who are there to help. The picture on the back of this card is my wife and son, Ryan taken right before Christmas. God bless you gentleman. My best wishes and good health to your loved ones.
