There’s a saying, “The darkest nights bring the brightest stars.”
That adage proved true earlier this year when a Las Cruces woman suffered a critical medical event at her home and died shortly thereafter at Mountainview Regional Medical Center. The woman’s family – her husband, son and daughter-in-law – delivered a heartfelt letter to the City to express their gratitude for the first responders who displayed, “the dignity and care she deserved in her final moments.”
The letter reads, in part, “We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the individuals below, whose commitment to their work provided (mom) with the dignity and care she deserved in her final moments. Their efforts went beyond duty, offering us not only medical expertise but also genuine humanity during an incredibly difficult time.”
The family wrote that as life-saving measures were being attempted at Mountainview, the firefighters went above and beyond to care for their four-year-old grandson. The firefighters, “took him under their wing,” allowing him to explore their fire truck, watch a medevac helicopter lift off and providing comfort, “during an incredibly difficult and confusing time for him.”
“For their professionalism, kindness and unwavering support we extend our deepest gratitude,” the letter continued. “The emergency service personnel of Las Cruces embody the very best of what it means to serve, and our family will always be thankful for their extraordinary efforts.”
