Here is some more feedback we have gratefully received from families like yours…

I know my mom and aunt will be taking a look at your Web site soon. Again, what a great idea for people and families that are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. I will definitely keep Betty’s Love in my prayers. Thank you for sending that email to me…It made my week!!!” — Peoria, Illinois

• “I appreciate that you helped us get the ball rolling…open dialogue in a relaxed and comforting/loving atmosphere….”

really feels about him.” — Tinley Park, Illinois

Regarding Special Events, like Mother’s Day Brunch-with-Love

I’m sure this will bring great joy to many mothers and families. Have a wonderful day!!” —Mary F., Beloved and Loving Daughter of Carole

About Embrace Family Support Group Meetings

• “Thanks to [Betty’s Love], I was able to provide stability to my parent, and that peace of mind is incalculable.”

• “What makes Embrace different from other support groups I have been involved in is the concept of “love.” This helps me to be more patient and respectful both to my Mom and to myself. I can be more gentle and understanding with her and more forgiving with myself. Even in the difficult times, I can see the sacred moments. That makes all the difference.”

• “I know that I can count on Embrace and its members when all I need is just that good loving hug to get me through the next day.”

• “I checked out your Web site – wow! It’s great that you’re a full-service provider for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers – support groups, respite, resources, housing, activities, library, spiritual care….you’ve got it all!”

my Mom on….”
