At about noon on August 21st, 2012, a week and a half after my mother died, attorney Steve Phillips sent me this text message: Dr wolf should be calling u now. She said she left MSG for u last night. Let me know if u don’t hear from her in the next hr. I replied […]
I called Detective Whittier of the Deland Police Department just after noon EDT today. I haven’t had any communication with him since last Wednesday, the day before he said he was going to visit Woodland Terrace in an attempt to speak with Dr. Peele in person. I’ve called just about every day since then and […]

About a week after she died, I contacted the corporate office of the pharmaceutical company which supplied drugs to Woodland Terrace, the assisted living facility where mom had been placed.

Today was the one week anniversary of the death of my mother. A couple of my friends called me and left me voice mail messages. I went on a seven mile run in the rain. I can’t believe I’ll never talk to my mom again. I’ll never get to hug my mom again. I’ll never […]

At 3:42 PM EDT I received a phone call from (847) 241-3200, an Illinois phone number. It was Mary in the billing department at RxPerts Pharmacy. I gave her my last name and my mother’s name and she was happy to discuss my mother’s bill with me. I did not inform her that my mother […]
I called the (352) 955-5015 number for the State LTC Ombudsman listed as an “Advocate for Residents” in the batch of paperwork that Rosa Rivera at Woodland Terrace sent me. The line rings and you get that annoying noise and then a canned message that states that the phone number has been changed. I called […]
I called the cell phone number I have for Dr. Peele. He didn’t answer, of course, so I left him a message and asked him to return my call. Update: It is now 11:20 PM EDT and I have not received a response to this call.
