Second that, Lisa. I am currently dealing with both a mother and a father in long term care and rehab. My Mom suffered a stroke. It is a process of creating new neural pathways and in 80+ year old folks who are a bit set in there ways, that can be difficult. But Jean, like my Mom, is a person determined to live a graceful, and interesting, life. She will deal with it in the same way she has lived her life so far, and that is why she is revered as a great folk artist, respected as a wonderful human being, and loved as a good friend. Prayers and love to the Ritchie-Pickow family.
