Misc. Notes
Eulogy by Daniel Aronzon
Seventeen years ago when Sandie left Saint Francis Hospital,k her colleagues assembled to have a party bidding her farewell.
1988:
“You brought people together to accomplish something good, with grace and style”
“You made us believe in the essential goodness of the nursing procession and its members”
“You care about your work, the people who work with you and most importantly, those who need you the most, your patients”
“You shared your vision on the role of nursing in hospitals and healthcare, and the essential centrality of the nurse’s role in the deliver of that care”
This week when Sandie passed away, her colleagues a Vassar commented as follows:
Sandie was class. She was caring and fun loving.
Sandie defined competence and caring.
She had a specific talent in that she could bring people together.
She brought so much to the table with her kind, sensitive touch.
She was the voice of reason backed by years of health care experience.
She was unique in her quest to see the big picture, to rise above the petty and trivial.
She cared and it showed.
Because of what she did, thousands of patients received better care.
She mad us all better!
Seventeen years of caring, loving and helping. The comments haven't changed, thank God neither did the person.
I first met Sandie in the early 1980's when as a new pediatrician in town, I tried to develop an infant screening program for high risk babies. Sandie patiently guided me through the process of getting it done despite the bureaucracies of Vassar and Saint Francis Hospitals.
Almost two years ago when I became the CEO of Vassar Brothers Medical Center, my team and I were faced with the challenge and responsibilities very new to us. Sandie was my sounding board, my ear and my confident.
She listened but more importantly she heard.
She cared, but more importantly she felt.
She mentored but more importantly she taught.
She laughed, but more importantly she applauded.
Just a few weeks ago, I called and imposed one last time of her wisdom and experience. As always, her advice was sound and I'm glad that I listened.
Sandie taught and mentored thousands of nurses at three of the (Hudson) Valley's most important hospitals; Saint Francis, St Lukes and finally, Vassar Brothers. She was proud, rightly so of her accomplishments, but if you wanted to see her light up, you just had to talk to her about her Vince and her family, especially her nieces. She cherished every moment she spent with them, she glowed with love when she spoke of gatherings and holidays.
Ten years ago Sandie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was a battle she fought with courage, home and dignity.
Only a few of her friends and her doctors knew the truth. When her doctors had bad news for her, it was she who cheered them up.
When others might have dissolved into a morass of self pity and depression, Sandie fought her cancer with a smile.
Always the lady, her last words to me this past Friday was to ask about my family and to wish me a happy Thanksgiving.
Whether you believe in a traditional heaven or more of a parallel universe that the human spirit can sometimes transverse to.
Whether you believe that heaven is taking your last breath with little of few regrets.
Whether you believe heaven is living on in the hearts and minds of your loved ones.
Regardless of how we choose to define it, we can all agree that Sandie is there now.
We will mourn her passing, we will miss that special smile, we will regret the moments we can no longer spend with her, but above all, we must remember to rejoice, for this was a life well lived.
