First let me thank you and your wonderful staff for all the support you have given me both when Bob was alive and since he passed away. Each of the caregivers who came into our home treated him with respect, kindness and dignity. He very much enjoyed their visits, and the fact that it meant I had some free time. Each one with their own personality brought life into his day whether it was through helping him with dressing, exercises, taking walks, eating or chatting.

I was very moved to see that you all made a donation to the UVA Department of Neurology in him memory. I went to UVA and while Bob was from New Hampshire, he really loved UVA and the time we spent there through the years. He always wore his UVA hat and was proud that his wife had gone to a school he so much admired. As we learned about the research UVA was doing on Parkinson’s, it was another reason to love and support UVA. We knew that he would probably not benefit from the research, but could only hope that some of the many folks we had met with Parkinson’s would benefit.

Keep doing the great job you are doing providing caregivers in Northern Virginia.
