I had the pleasure of taking care of Miss Mary as her caregiver, it was only for a short time, Mary was a great client she was pleasant, funny, and vey talkative. She was the kind of client that every caregiver would love to have. Mary welcomed me into her home and made me feel like I was visiting a friend and not going to work. I looked forward to seeing her every day and she made it hard to leave when my day was finished. I wish I had more time with her and she will surely be missed. Love You Mary and I’m sure we’ll meet again.
