Her name was Lynn and she just walked into the store while it was still in the set up stage and offered to volunteer. She had just moved to Alameda from the East coast a few years earlier to be closer to family. Her husband was older so she was his primary caretaker too. She was looking for something to do to get out of the house and the store was very close by. In one of our last text messages, she said that she would probably not remember any of our conversations going forward. Makes me very sad that in less than 2 years, things changed so much for her. Will always have fond memories of her kindness.
