Kathy I was so blessed to have been your caregiver the past years. Our giggles, looking through / trying your recipe book choices, adventures getting out in the community especially to pick out glasses ( weather wasn't in our favor on some )! Many times having dialogue over some of tv shows together, decorating for holidays, doing crafts like our favorite poured painting adventures....so glad I got your painting framed so you could enjoy seeing it daily ! Easter egg decorating was probably next runner up on favorite. Oh the story telling you shared. You deeply cared about so many and anytime you could try brighten someone's day you did with your tender heart. Love you tons and forever in my heart. I'm a better caregiver because of you!!
