Thank you so much for the prompt and helpful service with our parking lot after the big storm. I couldn't get my snowblower started and after nearly ruining my back trying to start it I really appreciated the help-even though only one person showed up. She did a great job.

3. Do we have all the medications we need?
4. Do we have enough heating fuel?
5. Are our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors working?
6. Does my…
