We sit down with Northeast Ohio Nurse Honor Guard volunteers Vanessa Rykes and Eileen Thompson to talk about the ceremony that changes that: a brief, moving tribute that honors a nurse’s lifetime of compassion, sacrifice, and care.

Send us Fan Mail A new year doesn’t magically wipe the slate clean, but it does offer an opening. We take that opening and talk about what a real “reset” looks like when life is messy, when grief is present, and when faith asks us to slow down instead of speed up.
