To Meals on Wheels:
My name is Jane, my late mother received meals on wheels for many years and you all were just wonderful. I recommended you to my elderly second cousin, who is 83 and lives alone here in Fort Collins.
I just wanted to add a little background to his application. He has wanted to remain independent and on his own since moving here about 15 years ago. Until about a year ago he has done well, but he is getting unsteady on his legs and has had a fall and is having back problems. He has never cooked much and has always eaten out. He is now unable to drive much (and shouldn't) with both his back pain and just the inabilities from his advanced years.
This lack of being able to get out and his history of no food preparations has cause him to just nibble here and there and not gotten the necessary nutrition he should have. I have encouraged him to contact meals on wheels and he has dragged his feet just because he is so fiercely independent. But he has now decided to try!
Again, I appreciate all the years of love and service you all gave my mother. She thought so much of all of you and your kind services. You are truly a blessing to our seniors.

In appreciation and consideration,

Jane
