Someone at Dearfield once said if there is a persoon to know in this building it's Lorene Reese, that was so true. There was never a more caring person, dedicated and loving than Lorene. One never knew what her job was, she did it all, and never complainied always glad to be apart of the facility, team work and member she was. I used to tell her I had a extra nurse's cap! Mrs. Reese wore many caps and to the family, she is and will be missed.

My words cannot express how I really feel. I am so very fortunate to have had such a special person in my life. welcomed me with open arms. I know if I needed her to listen, she would do just that. She always gave a helping hand even through her illness. I do appreciate the times I was able to spend with her and just laugh about nothing at all. I will miss her smile and laugh. I could go on and on but I will keep it short. You will be truly missed but always in my heart. God bless the Reese and Lawrence. Love always, Leticia "Ta-Ta" Walker
