Editor's Note: This new feature in our newsletter is inspired in part by the death of my dear friend and colleague, Dr. George Webb. His beloved wife, Pat Webb, was the first volunteer nurse at Hospice of Louisville in 1978 and continued serving in many roles until her death in 2020. Ongoing, we invite you to share obituary information relevant to our readers by sending it to jberger@hospicepalliativecaretoday.com.
