I used to be a CNA at Baptist CC and later returned as a volunteer and helped Ms. Ricker with her breakfast. She was such a pleasure to be with. I would ask her her family members names each morning and she told me as best as she could. I would also ask her what my name was and she would usually say “Rebecca”, but every once in a while she got it right and would say “Cathy”. I have not been to voluteer for the past several months since taking on a full time position, but still I am saddened by her passing. I was honored to have known her.
