Call for Help: Help us find her!

There is a woman to whom we owe my father's survival. We'd like to find her.

The morning of the accident: Tuesday, November 10, 2:45 am. A nurse on her way home early from a shift at St. Mary's hospital found my father at the accident scene, before paramedics arrived. She was the one who noticed that his airway was obstructed and opened it, which is the only thing that allowed him to breathe/have any oxygen to his brain. If it were not for this woman, we would've had a funeral later that week.

I have no idea who or where she is, or what I'm going to say to her, but I MUST find her. I'm 800 miles and 2 states away so I need your help. I believe her name was a "J." Jennifer/Jessica, perhaps? From what we've been told, she's a nurse at St. Mary's hospital, and perhaps lives outside of Dover or in Hector along Highway 27.

If you can help me find her, or if you let her know I'm looking for her, please send me a private email: ashleehardgrave@gmail.com.

I must thank this woman for the joy she's brought to our lives. Yes, you read that right: joy. She made it possible for me to still have my father. She's helped me see a beauty and strength in my mother I never thought imaginable. She brought my family, my friends and my community together in an incredible demonstration of love. She gave me hope.
