I always treat the families how I would want to be treated in their situation.

Exactly, that is what i base all my care on.how would i want to be treated or how would i want my wife or kids treated. it has always worked well for me:)

I am sorry burnt out for your loss...hugs

Thanks you guys...you have been a great help...I always said this to ppl... I didn;t get in this profession to become a %&*$, but to show how much I care, and if I can make just a little difference in someone's day/ life, then I'm doing OK
