Last week, we were privileged to have Joan Shannell Evans share her family's journey with dementia. Ms. Evans shared her personal journey with her mom and how difficult the diagnosis can be when there are other issues present, such as depression. She also took time to explain the difference between dementia and alzheimers.
Ms. Evans is the author of The Long Nightmare which details more of her family's journey. Do support her by purchasing a book.
Incoming Secretary Davone was the winner of 2-$25 gas vouchers. An ideal 1 for me, 1 for you prize.
