My heart is full today with the passing of the sweetest lady (Aunt Cailou) that I have really got to know over the last 8 years. She was a complete joy to work for. I loved seeing her smile every week when I would walk through her front door to help her in so many ways. My sympathies go out to Rodney and Russell and the rest of her family and friends. She will be and has been greatly missed.
