Kathy and Bob Harmon were enjoying a visit with their good friends Mike and Mary Ann Dunevant to celebrate Kathy’s birthday. Mary Ann prepared a special dinner, baked a cake, and invited her brother and sister-in-law, Bud and Ann Rizer, to join their small party.
“Just before we were getting ready to eat, Ann and I were talking about my new great-granddaughter,” shared Kathy. “I wanted to show Ann a picture, but when I picked up my phone, I didn’t recognize it. I didn’t know what to do with it. I didn’t know what buttons to push. Then my words started slurring and popping, and my sentences weren’t coming out. I was having a lot of difficulty with my speech.”
