    I am happy she was found and is safe. We hold invest in location devices for our lovely elderly. Maybe S&D security can offer such a service for we have a number of our population who may be pre Alzheimers/ Alzheimers and other dementias. So if they stray they can be located easily. This can help ease our anxiety.

    Please whoever makes this service available, please make it affordable. Thanks
