Dannae was such a wonderful person and a great nurse. I had the honor of meeting her and working with her months ago when she joined our unit at LaPorte. She was always happy, very compassionate about nursing and giving the best care to our patients. She was funny and just the sweetest. To say she'll be missed is an understatement. I send my deepest sympathies to you all and will be keeping each of you in my prayers as you navigate through this.
