HONORING ELIZABETH

Dear Caregivers and Friends,

Happy New Year. I pray that you are all doing well and had an enjoyable holiday season. I am looking forward to another great year of sharing H.O.P.E. for the Alzheimer’s Journey with caregivers. I am also increasing my volunteer roles with the Alzheimer’s Association as a State Champion (advocacy) and Faith Outreach Representative.

Honoring Elizabeth
My mother Elizabeth would have celebrated her 100^th birthday on January 15th. My brothers and I were on her Alzheimer’s journey together for over 11 years. Now, my mother is with me on a different journey as I work to help caregivers have a less stressful, more rewarding experience. Please see the beautiful Greenville & Hockessin LIFE magazine article written by Richard Gaw entitled “Honoring Elizabeth.”

Best Book Award

The American Book Fest has named H.O.P.E. for the Alzheimer’s Journey: Help, Organization, Preparation, and Education for the Road Ahead an award-winning finalist. H.O.P.E. was a finalist in both the “Health: General” and Self-Help: General” categories. There were over 2,000 entries in the 2019 Best Book Awards, one of their most competitive years since its inception in 2004. I am so honored to receive this double recognition from The American Book Fest.
