Reflections
I wanted to say how grateful I am to you and COPE for your support and help. When Mother became ill, it was very difficult for me living so far away. Knowing that you were visiting her regularly and sharing your insights with me was a great relief. As her illness progressed, I often was unsure which path to take. It was comforting to be able to talk it over with you and get advice. When I needed to find caregivers, you were able to provide me with the appropriate help and facilitate their role in Mother’s care. Thank you for providing this very important service.
Fondly,
