"I love working with the children," Lynn said. "They are like a breath of fresh air." Lynn was surprised by the award and was greeted that night by many of the nurses who serve under her direction. 
Country Cottage Assisted Living is the sponsor of the annual award. Company representatives Dawn White Pumpelly and Michelle Anderson commended all of the nominees for how they serve health care in Madison County."You do extraordinary things and do not get thanked enough," said Pumpelly. "This is a special way to say thank you." Pumpelly expressed that it said great things about the nominees that someone took the time to send in the forms to nominate them. Keynote speaker for the event was Dr. Pam O’Neal, associate dean of the UAHuntsville College of Nursing, who spoke about lighting the way. Using references to Florence Nightingale, she said, "Florence Nightingale used a lamp to check on the soldiers. I challenge you to think about how you can light the way where you are."
