Respect for their wisdom and experience. A young person doesn't have the right to harass and older person any more than an old person has the right to be a royal pain in the butt. It doesn't take much to become "old". In itself it isn't an acheivment.
Their cat dug up her flowerbed. So just who is being a pain in the butt neighbor?

At 78 she deserves to be left alone. If she plants and weeds a flowerbed at that age, do you believe it's ok for a neighbors pet to dig it up? Instead of keeping the cat indoors, they got rid of it. So it's HER fault? And it's ok for the kid to harass her because his parents gave away his cat? I don't think so. She has a right to be left alone and in peace and for her garden to be unmolested by others pets.
