My parents were very close in everything they did.

I think children need to be aware how important it is to do their best and to take their time and to read very carefully.

The nurses and staff at the hospice were the most wonderful people. I can't say enough about how they made my parents stay dignified.

Evelyn was the glue that held the family together.

He fractured his neck about four weeks ago and went to hospice. His body, liver, kidneys and all shut down. His mind remained sharp.

[Parents] think their kids can dress themselves and they can feed themselves and they can let themselves in the door, and I think a kid that age really needs as much if not more time with their parents than they did when they were 8 or 10,
