SANTA CRUZ, CA — Patch is celebrating Mother's Day 2020 by honoring all the awesome mamas in Santa Cruz County and throughout California.
This submission comes from Judith Hoelscher, daughter of Melita Israel in Aptos:
At 96 years young, our mother Melita is missing her Water Aerobics class at the Watsonville YMCA that she has attended weekly for over 40 years. We, her son-in-law Buck, her daughter Judith and her are good roommates with each taking care of certain household tasks and everyone working to keep the weeds down on our 2-acre home.
