It was so nice to have had the privilege to help care for Mrs. McCaskill.
It was always a delight to share the home visits.
She made a huge impression on me and will always be remembered.
She always remarked about the Home Care Aides as her spa ladies!!
My thoughts are with your family.
It has been a lot of years since I was a part of your family but I will always think fondly of “Mrs. McCaskill” as she was my second mom for most of my teen years. My thoughts are with all of you.
Tonight when you look up don’t think of them as stars. Think of them as porch lights welcoming your loved one safely home.
