Christmas cards from who?

That is a shame Julia. I remember going through my DM's address book after she died to see who I should be telling. It was worth doing but a bit strange. One of her old friends didn't sound very compos mentis and had difficulty knowing who I was. They were in their 90s.

I have been rather puzzled by some of my elderly fathers post recently, Christmas cards just signed with a First name but no other details, and sadly he’s now too frail and demented to know who these people may be, or any idea of their address or contact details to explain the reason why he has not been able to respond by sending a card in return. So sad, and has he doesn’t keep a record of these people’s contact details since my step mother passed away earlier in the year and her son totally cleared away her belongings shortly after her funeral, l have little chance of replying on his behalf, as most of these people l have never met.
