Friend Carolyn Helstrom is 73 years old. She went into Loyalist Retirement residence Nov. 3, 2025. She had a fall and concussion over 2 years ago. She saw a Neurologist in August but has no diagnosis as yet. She struggles to think straight and her ability to walk without a walker is not possible now. Both parents had dementia and she may have early onset of this. I would like prayer for her. She is anxious and fearful. She is a longtime Presbyterian. Her church was in Stamford area of Niagara Falls. I prayed with her today and she was so grateful. Thankyou. Liz Field, new person at Southridge since Sept. 2025.
