You combined to provide dignified and comforting care. "Can you imagine ?", are the words you would hear from the beautiful red lips of Herta, anytime of the day. She kept you thinking. "Invest in land, precious metals and water (Blue Gold)! She was right. "One day there will be a hotel on the moon." Who knows, maybe she will be right again. She caught your attention with her dancing, her grace and stories of her past. She loved stimulating conversation and had no time for gossip. She loved her husband deeply, but sometimes you would find his picture facing the wall. "Why?", we would ask, "Today I am mad at him." The next day we would see his face again. She kept her home neat and clean, she liked her daughters that way too. "You're not going out like that!" Of course we did, to her dismay. She always took care of the needs of others first, unless she needed her cigarettes. Hell or high water we had to go and get them. Whoever was blessed to get close to Herta was spell bound by her humour, her grace and her love. We will always make sure to check the mirror before we go out, and keep a little money in a secret place.
