I was among the many that had the honor and pleasure of taking care of May at Concordia Village Assisted Living. May was such a kindred soul, never complained, always had a smile no matter how she was feeling. The love she had for her family and her dear husband Marvin is just something you don't see often. Their devotion to each other was unwavering and heart warming. She will be dearly missed
