:crying2:

Oh, I just now saw this -- my heart is broken. I, too, just graduated from nursing school and could always count on Daytonite to set me straight on any questions I had. She was such a wonderful teacher :heartbeat: I do hope she knows how much we all care(d) for her. Thank you, Joyce for everything.

I can say that she will be missed here on earth. She helped so many people and inspired so many on this site. I hope to one day be able to help ones as she did. Rest in Peace.

OMG, I just say this information and I am totally in shock! I will never forget her because she was one of the nicest people you will ever meet online. She went beyond and above to help students on this board and has affected so many people positively. I am truly shocked.

When I was redirected to this page from a google search I'd done, this was the first thing I saw. I was taken aback because I was hoping that the answer that I would receive for my question would come from Daytonite. I remember when I first read her post responses. I immediately became infatuated with her because she possessed so much wisdom! I was so determined to follow her that I sent her a friend request and left her a heartfelt message while oblivious to the extent of her situation at home. I knew that she had an illness from reading a past response she made to another member, but I did not know the seriousness. I felt like for a moment, my heart stopped. I did not know her, but through her postings I adopted her as my mentor. Life is so fragile. I do not mourn her. I am smiling for her because I know that she is no longer struggling with her illness. I'm hurt that it had to come to a person so wonderful as her who spent her "disability" helping students like myself. God, I want to bury myself into a pillow because of the fragility of life, especially to those who I feel don't deserve to experience death, but I have a greater strength within myself. I am extending my thoughts to those of you who may also be experiencing the same emotions that I have. Death is not a punishment, neither is it a confirmed end. She was so charitable with her wisdom in the nursing field. She had stated in an old post that she was an old woman and was ill. So I know that she lived a long life and she lived it helping others. Her wisdom continues in those that she shared it with, and hopefully her posts will remain for us to use as a resource whenever we need it because to me, she had the best answers.

The Lord needed his angel back. I thank the Lord for this amazing nurse who has clearly a gift from heaven. You helped me so much and saying thank you will never be enough. I am sad but at the same time happy to know that I have the opportunity to learn from this amazing teacher. You were more than a nurse... My prayers go to her family and loved ones. I will never forget you!
