Thanks Softy, we stopped in to see my dad after checking in at the hotel in Orlando. He's a total mess. He had started showing some signs of dementia at the beginning of this year and now he's like an empty shell. Really don't expect him to hang on much longer. My brother, who lives in Claremont, 45 minutes from Orlando, was talking about taking him in. Dad said it was too painful staying at home - too many reminders. The neighbors and friends have been very generous with bringing food. We're having a quiet memorial at a botanical garden she was very fond of. When her mother died, they planted a memorial tree there; I think we'll do the same. Thanks again for the kind words.🐨
