And in the words of my informants

“it’s not just only what she does, but the way she does it, quietly, efficiently with no though of or need for recognition. It’s not the what, it’s the how. It’s just Chris being Chris. Even her very regular visits to family at the nursing home include kind words and gestures to staff and other residents.

She is a living treasure”
