Guestbook

  1. One thing about Grandma, she delighted in visiting with the kids. She would bend over backwards, making sure that she got your special treat, chocolate milk. She was always concerned about your well-being, wanted to make sure that you were safe. She might not have always gotten your name right, but she would run through the list until she hit it. Miss you, Grandma.. fair travels and I hope they have your favorite shows out there.

  2. Linda, I am sending you my condolences on the passing of your mother. You were blessed with a young mom who contributed to the wonderful woman you became. I lost my mom 2 years ago at age 92 so I have a sense of what you’ve lost. Plus I cared for many dementia patients in my practice- so I can envision the journey you’ve been on. I’m hoping you will have a great celebration of Lois’s life. And that the love of your friends and family will uphold you as you journey forward in the months/years to come. (BTW you knew me as Linda Linn back then), Linda Winter

    • Thank you, Linda. Of course I remember you well. I think dealing with mom’s dementia is probably the most difficult thing I ever had to deal with. And, sometimes, when mom was most aware, she knew what was happening to her, too. There were no words of comfort or encouragement to offer her

    • Which is why my heart goes out to you, LInda. The anguish for both of you is now past so I hope you will give yourself grace, love and foregiveness as you journey forth. All are needed as you create your new life going forward from each day. It takes effort and patience. I’ll pray you have all you need and send you a big hug
