God gave me the opportunity to meet the Nigro's Family, but the best part was putting the life of Theodore in my hands in order to take care of him. I always shall be grateful for the way that he was used by God to teach me in the process of growing as CNA, we together as client and aide were a tough team. We liked things done in our way and on our time, we laughed, we kept silence, and more than anything we did respect each to other. He was the last of my original assignment and be there for him a couple hours before his soul returned to God, that was a privilege that not everyone has. I know that my God is giving strength in this painful moment to your family, specially to your loving and faithful wife Vivian; they are not alone, God goes before them. Last but not least, Teddy Teddy all your girls from Beaumont say: Arrivederci! See You Later! Nos vemos más tarde! Ci Mancherai! Liu
