Wearing a colorful, bright blue outfit, she roamed the halls and went into various rooms, talking to staff, patients, and families of those receiving treatment.

"Well done, you!" she exclaimed. "I know it's just as hard for families and loved ones. I know how hard it was for the children and my parents. You go through it with them."
