Body:	<i>I will never forget an experience I had while working at Boswell Hospital. We had an elderly woman who never had family come and visit her. She could be kind of cantankerous at times and wasn't very verbal, but one night as I was giving her meds and helping her eat, she told me that she would like 'Ave Maria' sung at her funeral. I told her that sounded very nice because it's a beautiful song. She asked me if I knew it, and if so, would I sing it for her. I looked around and said, 'are you serious? I don't know much of it'. 'Well, sing what you know, please.' I felt a little silly, but she was so insistent that I sang what I knew of it to her. (you do a lot of strange things while nursing, huh, girls?) She seemed quite pleased, so I finished my rounds and went home not thinking much more about it. The next morning when I arrived at work, I was shocked to learn that she had passed suddenly in the night. This woman was in fairly good physical health, so it wasn't expected. I was sooo glad that I had fulfilled that request for her. It's often times easy to ignore a person with Alzheimer's or Dementia. This impacted me greatly and now I often wonder if someone's request coulld be their last. I have been with other patients as they have passed on, but this one impacted me the most. Carol</i> *
