I'm leading the way to Alzheimer's first survivor by participating and co chairing the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's at White Horse Village. I am doing this because I have seen very personally how dementia in any of its forms can effect a loved one and the family as well.
I have lost friends to dementia. I lost my dear friend and sister-in-law Rita Scott. I've known her since we were both in our late teens, married brothers and raised our families and kept them close.
Rita was a dedicated wife and mother, a devoted teacher. She was on the leading edge of any new technical development. She was bright with a great sense of humor.
She will always be missed, but always remembered.
Our White Horse community lost amy Borer. Amy was a gifted gardener, her orchids were just amazing. This was just one way she brought beauty into the world. Her husband, Ed and family and her church were her center. She, also, is missed but remembered by the beauty she added to life.
This past year my late husband's cousin Frank Kelly passed away as did Phyllis Sheely, the wife of an old friend. I see the courage of my friends Rosemary and Charlie Kuhlman as they face Charlie's dementia.
Finally my daughter in law Mary Scott is helping her Dad and brother deal with their wife and mother's dementia. Eva Gavala is being lovingly cared for, but dealing with her illness takes courage and prayers.
I am asking my family and friends to once again dig deep and donate.
