thank you so very much for responding. this list certainly is marvelous
and it has been invaluable in giving me confidence in my use as a caregiver
for my husband jack. he has been a wonderful husband for over
fifty years and a terrific father to our 7 children and grandpa to
14 kids. i have been blessed by his love and companionship so we are in this
situation together thanks to you and all on lists.maybe the road ahead will
not be so bumpy as i thought.
most sincerely
connie
