Mary Lou asked me to send a note that she is back home and will be cared for there as her girls will be returning to work and school for a while. She is so delighted to be back in her familiar surroundings. When I spoke to her Sunday afternoon she was surrounded by daughters Teresa and Kristina; Van, a grandson; a member of the Vergara family from the Philippines; a nurse; and a dear friend Patrice, a work colleague from her Atlanta days as a geriatric social worker. A member of the church was also there with a tiny harp playing at her bedside. Mary Lou said she enjoys hearing familiar voices, but does not have energy for talking long. She also appreciates cards and e-mails, and would enjoy hearing from colleagues, with poetry, songs and prayers, chuckles, memories and updates from you.
