Hi Pam:
Thanks so much for the encouraging words. I feel so guilty that I'm not
doing more. They are united in their refusal to accept help, and I do
understand that they need to maintain the independence. I can't imagine how
I will feel when (and if) I get to that age. I've received some phone
numbers for the Council on Ageing, and I'll try them tomorrow for help.
Again, thanks for the kindness - it's much appreciated. Good luck to you
also - I don't know how you are doing it!
