b) Sunshine: Linda D: absent but John took over for her today. Mary J. took another fall and is now staying with her daughter. Even though Mary would like calls, her daughter thinks that for the present time people should hold off due to all the turmoil that is going on in making arrangements for Mary. Joan M. is still receiving home health care. She is considering selling her house and possibly trying assisted living. Calls to Joan would be greatly appreciated.
