I had the pleasure of working at the Culpeper Health Care Center many years ago when I met Mr. and Mrs. Duncan. Frank was one of my favorite patients. Mrs. Duncan came in every day and Franks face would light up everytime. He also lit up when I would walk in his room. He always knew my name and would call me his "girl", right there in front of Josephine, and we would all laugh. I also had the pleasure of meeting alot of their family and remember each of their faces, even though I may have forgotten their names. I will always remember the Duncans. I know they are together now and that makes me feel very good. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and in my prayers.
