Praying for you and your family Carl.
Carl, so sorry about Helen. As everyone at Lynn Care knew she was my favorite! I will always remember our conversations when I would give her her medicine, I would say love you more and she would say love you most! I always said I would be sad the day she would not know me, a couple of times I would say do you know me today, she would hesitate and I would say love you more and she would say that’s you Abby! I was relieved! So glad she was part of my life for 7 years! You were so faithful coming every day! You were the best son ever!
Carl,
I am truly sorry to hear about Helen. She was definitely a sweet lady. I always enjoyed having that back hall on Oak when I was on Shift. She would always talk to me about my daughter during my one on ones with her.
OR when picking her clothes out that day she did not like that sweater because it just did not fit right. She will be missed, even though I no longer work at Lynn Care she was always in my thoughts and prayers and part of my family for so many years.
It was an honor to have been her physician for many years before I left to go to the VA. I always enjoyed our conversations. She continued to work even after she was admitted to Lynncare for her own health issues, and I always found her helping out another resident. Her son, Carl, took great care of her.

Sorry for your loss. Just think of your Mom and she will be right there with you.
