Email from my friend:
I now have the greatest peace ever, in my every day days I know for sure, without a doubt, doing what God intends me to do…care for my best friend. He plucked me right out of Wal-Mart, and set me right beside this guy.
Vonnie Skidgel caring for Alzheimer’s husband
Help, Hope, and Healing
OUR FINEST GOAL
In 2002 my mentor and friend Vonnie stood well into her journey of care for her husband, Gene. Because of her caregiver duties our phone conversations ceased and we settled for short emails to keep updated on our news. Read the rest of this entry »
