HUZZAH for internet again! Long may it last!
And thank you, MissNikki
We just found out another Elder is in trouble. She's, hmmm, I guess a first cousin once removed, maybe? But the ages of the siblings were so far apart she's more in my grandparents' generation. We're trying to figure out what's best to do right now; she was a real hoarder so there's a lot to deal with. The utility people won't even go into the house to turn off the utilities, but she's safely moved for now anyhow while we try and sort it out. If she were anywhere near me she'd just join us, but she's not, and that branch of the family isn't as organized, so we'll have to see. She might join me anyhow, if nothing better is suggested. Meanwhile I'm trying to sort things out here just in case.
