MY COMPANY ASSIGNED ME TO GRETIS MORRIS’ CASE. I was to
prepare her meals, do light housekeeping and just keep her company. She lived in what is commonly called a mother-in-law suite, which was attached to her daughter’s house in Columbus, Ohio. Gretis’ daughter and son-in-law took good care of her, but because they both taught full-time, they needed someone to come in one day each week to help. Mrs. Morris accepted me as family almost immediately. A native of West Virginia, she often spoke of her home there and the friends she had made throughout her 78 years of life.
