"I can't thank you enough for the time you spent with me and your words of wisdom. At a time when I was entering an unknown world, your guidance was invaluable and allowed me to make intelligent choices regarding my mother. I can't think of anything more that you could have done for me. You always returned my calls right away (even on Sunday), when I was desperate for information and advice. You were able to explain the ways of the hospitals, nursing homes, insurance, etc. Again, thank you...I don't know what I would have done without you."
