My mother was a caregiver for Rita and Elmer. I met them both when I was a child and they welcomed me with big open arms. I cherish the memories we all had. I miss them everyday. To the family I miss you all too everyday.

To the family, I met her once many years ago, because I was a small child, I can't tell you the year or date. However I will always remeber the eyes and the smile.
Until I see them again.
