Thank you to family, friends, neighbors
and Buster for all the years of companionship. Thank you caregivers Herb
Bingham, Ellen Flynn and Tina Rawlins. Thank you to Nancy Stich for all the
support, as both our parents went through the disease of dementia; no one knows
the journey until it is walked. Thank you to the staff of HCR Manor Care and
Heartland Hospice for your support and compassionate care of Margot Weiss and
her family. Thank you to all the young people who cared and helped Grandma when
she lived alone. Special thanks to Aaron, Owen and Zachary Priepke for all the

home. Without you that would not have happened.
