2017-04-25 06:19:48 PM kbertocci patfuller - I'm on my own. I just plan what I want and stay under the allotted budget I'm given
2017-04-25 06:19:48 PM chelseytimreck patfuller it is not easy ours will help out with little cost but not a whole lot

2017-04-25 06:20:13 PM bcramer Marcia, maybe you could bring her a small keyboard and have some 1:1. Playing the piano is usually intrinsict. It is some what like remembering the lyrics to their favorite hymns. It could come back to her, maybe not, but worth a try
