A message from Mary’s daughter: My mother, Mary, is suffering from various medical conditions and is also in a lot of pain, is at home most of the time and she feels a debilitating sense of isolation. My mother would love to have some get well cards sent to her. I made her a bird sanctuary outside our kitchen window. She likes to watch the birds as she drinks her coffee in the morning. My mom loves birds. I even recently purchased her a hummingbird cane. Any articles/pictures of birds is something I think she would enjoy. My mother is also a big Danielle Steel fan. She likes to read in bed. My mother loves books on nature. She knows how important it is to stay connected to nature.
