  • Carol Hollyday of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty : Downsizing Options: Living safely at home, moving to a condo or considering a senior community. 

The first Panel Discussion, attended by well over 100 people last month, focused on general guidelines for talking about end-of-life issues and health care decisions with family members.
