Coming from a foreign country and landing on our first US job was a huge and challenging endeavor to most of us. Mrs. Fleisch as well known to all the Filipino nurses at Oakland Care Center was one of the most dedicated and loving person, who made the transition quite easier. She was my excellent coach and mentor when I started working at OCC. Her remarkable hospitality would outpour every time she invited us to her house; then we became her “extended family”. We all became her children and our children became her grandchildren. She was amongst the strongest moral and emotional support to me and my family, especially when I had a premature baby, and when the time Raechel Grace passed away, Mrs. Fleisch and Mrs. Young helped me get through the pain and sorrow. When my first son (Rayneil) was born in New Jersey, she was the one who talked to and arranged with a priest to get him baptized before we moved in Virginia. She even gave a name to my second son (Raymond). She was present when all my kids were baptized. We will be forever grateful for everything she did to us. “You’re gone, but will never be forgotten. We will miss you! Rest in eternal peace, our friend”.
With much love,
