Letha was a wonderful person! I loved talking to her at work, back when it was CCCNH. She was very kind and loving to the residents, and to everyone that she came in contact with. Very sorry to hear of her passing.

I worked with Letha at the Manor and I loved her sharp wit. She was a joy to be around and always had so much grace and dignity with the patients. I will miss her.
