Read MoreMy heart goes out to the Dequerado family . Lora was an angel who was beyond special to me. She had a twinkle in her eyes like the stars in the sky, her smile was like the brightness of the sun and her loving, caring spirit as deep as the ocean. I will miss you forever and will always remember you.

I just learned of Lora's passing. What a shock! She was my chemo nurse last Fall as I battled breast cancer. She made it all so easy. Her bright smile, cheerful spirit, and quiet competence gave me confidence that everything would be all right. She was always available for questions or concerns. She will be missed. My sympathy to her family and friends.

My prayers go out to all of Lora's family. Lora was my chemo nurse....and what a blessing she was to me and my husband. She was so encouraging and positive to us. She helped us get through a really scary time. I actually looked forward to my treatments and time with her. I just finished my last herceptin treatment this week and was shocked to hear of her passing. I will always remember her when I think of this last year. I am thankful to have known her. Heaven certainly has a new...
