No matter how much time passes, the imprint of this benefit will forever be marked as a truly outstanding representation of the people in this wonderful valley. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. David, Denise and Dreighton.

The Alzheimer’s Prayer Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion forgiveness for my irrationality, and the strength to walk with me into the mist of memory my world has become. Please help them take my hand and stay awhile, even though I seem unaware of their presence. Help them to know how their strength and loving care will drift slowly into the days to come just when I need it most. Let them know when I don’t recognize them, that I will, I will . . . keep their hearts free of sorrow for me for my sorrow, when it comes Only lasts a moment, then it’s gone. And finally, Creator please let them know how very much their visits mean how even through this relentless mystery, I can still feel their love. Author Unknown
