Your gentle touch, your tender care. A smile as bright as sunshine; a heart of no compare.
A spirit that will glow forever, in the memories that we share.

This article explains that the A-B-C (Airway, Breathing, Compressions) protocol for trying to revive a cardiac arrest victim has been changed to C-A-B, citing the critical importance of immediately beginning forceful compressions on the center of the victim's chest. This helps circulate oxygenated blood throughout the body, most critically the brain, and can double or triple chances of survival in cardiac arrest victims.
