Hello Group, Well Said Charlie, your comments are 'Spot On'. For myself, Steve's Dementia Series is a very, very welcome presence in my inbox. My family & extended family is coping with multiple people living with dementia or directly caring for that person. My Mom is in the mild/moderate stages of Alzheimers and my Girlfriend Jane's Mom has severe dementia from progressive idiopathic(?) brain damage (it's dying away) and Jane's Dad (Mom's primary caregiver) has developed mild dementia symptoms which keep him from controlling his blood sugar levels, his sleep apnea, and his stress coping mechanisms, to the point he becomes a danger to himself and others. Yes, Appropriate Judicial, Social Services, and Family steps are actively in motion. Steve, please take Dr. Ted's advice to heart. Please contact him off-list, on-list, by carrier pigeon if need be, and find a way to put these images into a book so they can be shared with the world. Sincerely, Richard Ward ________________________________ [---Insert Irony Here---] ________________________________ ________________________________ From: Charlie Falke <chfalke@xxxxxxx> Subject: [LRflex] Re: the beautiful faces...

Very good work, thanks. -- Charlie Falke ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
