Martha, I'm sorry to hear about David's passing. We were able to leave Meadowbrook in late March and bring Kelly home. I didn't see you for a while before we left and wondered how you were doing. I know this has been a struggle for a long time, and you were a brave and courageous caregiver to David. May you have peace that only God can give. Georgia Cunningham
