I remember Christmas Eve's with Aunt Connie and Uncle Walt with all my cousins as a child and Thanksgivings for decades. I remember scanteens of picnics, one each on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. I remember Aunt Connie and Uncle Walt on Gillespie Street and hearing that they were moving to "the country". It sounded very distant and mysterious. Then, there was that "crick" out back. I have a childhood of memories that I will always treasure.
Patti and I donated to the Alzheimer's Association. Perhaps they can finally do something to prevent this disease. The current research is aimed at prevention by addressing neurophysiological risk factors before it even begins as a more probable success strategy.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
