He Was a dear friend of mine I met him at the nursing home where I worked. It was a joy for me to have known him for such a short time but we became friends. He always called me Cadillac because he couldn’t pronounce my name so he would call me that. Then everyone would ask or start calling me that. Rest of my friend and take your rest ❤
