It gives me great comfort knowing you are just a phone call away; you have become my lifeline for coping with Bob’s Alzheimer’s and guiding me with such sensitivity as I make these tough, tough decisions.”

“You are brilliant Kae—you provided me such clarity about Al’s disease, the why’s for his behavior and the strategies for becoming effective in managing his constantly changing moods, patterns and behaviors. I’m not fighting the reality any more; I’ve come to acceptance. And you were right—I am more at ease. Bless you.”
