I met Donna at the nursing home visiting my brother, she was the sweetest lady, she just wanted a coke out of the vending machine, she was struggling to get her money out of her bag with her only right side working. Bought her the soda and she did not want anything free. I told her it was no big deal. Got her a glass of ice and poured her soda in it. She was so grateful, helped her move to the outside table so she could reach everything. Brought her to dinner with us at our table when we visited. She was always so appreciative for any attention. She called my brother after he was sent home, she missed him. What a wonderful lady just knowing her a few weeks, wish we had more time with her. She is in a better place.
