Leona, my beautiful lady, it was my pleasure to care for you for the last two years of your life. Thank you for all your confidences, Polish teaching (even though I couldn't quite absorb it all, I did learn a little), all our laughs and silliness, Casey's keeping us on the straight and narrow, and most of all your love. You will forever be loved and remembered. Bye for now.
