How healthy is your aunt? How will she fare alone now?

For the most part, for a woman in her 80s, she does quite well. No major issues. But she's beginning to show the same signs of dementia that we saw with two of her sisters and with my grandfather. It's not ~quite~ Alzheimers, but similar. On a good day, she'll recognize me. On a not so good day, she'll talk to me like I'm my dad. ;-)

Still, I think she'll be okay for a while. The last 4-5 years she's been mostly inside caring for my uncle. So this should give her the opportunity to be out more. She can start back to church, etc.
