    Loretta “volunteered” for me for five years. I put “volunteered” in quotes, because she ran circles around many paid workers. She was a GREAT asset to the department and I could not have done my job so efficiently if it wasn’t for her. Loretta didn’t pull any punches, gave her honest opinion, and you always knew where you stood with her! She was a great friend to me and I will miss her.

    I worked with Loretta at DKH only for a short time in the past few years but she was a joy to work with and she will be greatly missed. I loved hearing her stories and her professionalism working in the Hospice Department. Loretta was a cherished part of the team here at DKH.

    Lorettta was my Hospice Office Volunteer for eight years. We became very close over the years. She spoke so highly of her family, and loved them all. What wonderful care you gave her! She was an integral part of our Hospice team and a great asset to me professionally. She had a heart of gold and shared her time and talent unselfishly. I will miss her dearly, until we meet again, Loretta.
