<p data-wacopycontent="1">I know I have lost my mentor, my former preceptor. &nbsp;Kathy introduced me to the world of palliative, the world of communication and connecting with patients and their families. &nbsp;She shared with me the joy of the work we do, and the tears which sometimes follow. &nbsp;We laughed, we cried, we ate Indian food, and she introduced to me the green matcha frapacinno that isn’t on the menu. &nbsp;I do what I do now because of Kathy. &nbsp;I always think, what would Kathy do. &nbsp;Only recently did I finally learn that the greatest gift she gave me is the ability to start thinking, what would Jeff do. &nbsp;I lost a truly amazing friend.</p>
