Condolences to the Family

To my Eugenia who I will truly miss. You made me laugh, smile, and cry. I enjoyed taking care of you at colonial lodge. You were my favorite and always will be. Even know you gave me a hard time sometimes I loved that you were so stubborn and that you challenged me. My dearest blessings to your family who I really got to know. It started with Dino and Nick because I used to have to call them every night for you. Calling Calli to bring you something or when you were giving me a hard time. I have truly missed you, and the times we shared I will never forget.  My heart is filled with sadness today hearing the news. Prayers and thoughts are with your family.
