MANY THANKS

To: elderlink@elderlink.org

Irene –
Dear Elderlink,

Thank you so much for your help in finding a Board and Care facility for my ex-husband and Brenda’s Dad. I don’t know if Brenda had a chance to get back to you and, if not, I wanted to thank you for the list of facilities and let you know that we have chosen the facility in Santa Clarita. Sam was transferred there last night and is now under hospice care.

Your organization is certainly a blessing to all of us who find ourselves suddenly tossed into the circumstances to find a caring place for a loved one. I cannot express my gratitude enough for having made the search so much less confusing.

Gratefully Yours,
Diane Tracy
