Vicki visited Mom at Phoebe

VL had a brief visit with Mom. All visitors are required to wear a mask because of the flu. She also checked out the large room where we may be able to have a memorial gathering for Dad.

We met at NewSeasons to remove the rest of Mom and Dad's belongings and closed out our account with them. We doubt Mom will ever return.

After lunch we went to the house and spent a couple of hours cataloging Dad's clothes to give to charity. Removed some more memoribilia.

Back to Allentown

Vicki stopped at Stephens to pick up the death certificates. We met at Linda Noonan's to discuss the 'petition for successor trustee' legal paper work.

We visited NewSeasons and removed some of Mom's belongings, packed a suitcase and took the clothes to her at LVH TCU.

Mom was sitting up and eating her lunch. We helped the intake nurse from Phoebe fill out some of Mom's admissions paper work.

I stopped at Phoebe and signed Mom's admissions application.
