First during the long hot Summer of 2014 when we helped Aunt Marian clean her home out and move into an apartment and then again in 2017 when we moved Aunt Marian into assisted living. Sue and Jeff Hanthorn who always checked in on Aunt Marian when I traveled. Sue for attending the Christmas parties and making hospital runs. Cindy, Arik and Caleb Bench for using their equipment in helping move Aunt Marian into assisted living. Nancy and Tom Stearns for graciously including Aunt Marian in our holiday celebrations.
