Gene always told me he was so proud of me. I remember the first day I met him and Gloria. It was the summer of 2012 shortly after I graduated from high school. I had been looking for a job since I had just received my CNA and Caregiver. I saw his post and quickly applied so I could care for Gloria. He was a little hesitant since I had never taken care of anyone before. I knocked on the door and Gene opened eagerly. I was accompanied by my dad, it was my first job so my dad was scared and didn't want me to go alone. Gene always admired my dad for that because he knew my dad just wanted to take care of me. We talked for a couple of hours and I went home unaware if I had been hired. The next day he called and told me he had talked to his family and I could start that weekend. I was so happy! It was my first job and Gene gave me that opportunity. He always told me I had to start somewhere and knew I had a good heart. I thanked him all the time. I helped take care of Gloria until her last breathe. One thing that the family didn't know was that the night Gloria passed I spent the whole night next to her praying for her and Gene. I held her hand and read her Bible stories. I knew Gloria had passed in peace. The following years I tried to visit Gene and care for him when I could. He got to meet my daughter which he thought was the cutest little thing ever. I wasn't able to be by his side like I was for Gloria but I prayed for him every night. My heart was heavy when I found out he passed but quickly filled with joy when I remembered what he told me the day Gloria passed. "Love like this is hard to come by you know, I love Gloria and I will be with her soon".
My sincere condolences to the family and thank you for allowing me to care for Gloria and Gene when I did.
With love,
Marcela Avalos
