112. that is true but my mom (RIP) never did anything like that

Jul 2016

Mom had Alz. and I was her caregiver/case manager for 6 yrs. When she was in a crowd she was very well behaved until she got to the very late stage. And her face was never bright red like Bushie's. He may be demented but this looks like * was high as a kite.

First thing my neighbor said when she told me about it. She's a recovered alcoholic.
