It has been my great pleasure and honor to work with each of you in the cause of dignity at the end of life. You have been my teammates in this work, and have added to my life. For that, I thank you. I appreciate the immense talent and gifts you all bring to our patients, our customers, and to each other daily. As Adoray moves forward with this transition, I know that the organization is in good hands with the multitude of caring and loving souls as it’s volunteers. You have shown sacrifice in service, and grace in giving, all while navigating the most difficult year for us all individually and collectively. Be well, stay safe, and may our paths cross again.
