The “assisted living facility” where my grandmother lived — Indigo Manor in Daytona Beach, Florida — just sent my mom and uncle an automated form letter. It was something along the lines of, “Please tell us how satisfied you are in the care we gave your loved one.” They’re really not very bright over there.
If my mom and uncle are still too upset to do so, I’m going to be the one sending them a reply: “We were completely satisfied… right up until the day you dropped her and broke her femur, then allowed her to spend over 36 hours in agony before telling anyone what had happened. Y’know. Right before she died because of complications from the emergency surgery. Aside from that, though, you were terrific.”

I came across your blog when I was googling old friends and you mention someone from Daytona Beach named Karin France. How old would this girl be in 2007? I went to college with a Karin France from Daytona and would like to find her but not sure we are talking about the same person. I know her from Vanderbilt. Sorry if I am writing this to the wrong person!
And belated condolences on the loss of your grandmother.

The Karin France you are referring to is now a dentist in Phoenix Az. Her married name is Hilsabeck.
