Alzheimer's!
Have any questions
you'd like to ask me? Fire away! I'm traveling this week, but I can
probably email back, just not right away.
And, as always, if you would
like to stop getting my emails, please just let me know and I will take you off
my list. If you receive more than one, please just delete the extras. I sort the
list manually every time and may miss a few
duplicates.
Thank you for your
help,
Ami Simms
