Where should grandma live?

Joyce Felice of Mason was worried about her mother. Living alone in a small home in Paris, Tenn. — more than 600 miles away — with cardiac and vascular issues, Dorothy Norell Norton was vulnerable.

After months of heart-to-heart talks, Norton sold the homestead where she raised her daughter, tended her flower garden and enjoyed the company of lifelong friends. She moved to Lansing and into the Edgewood Retirement Center eight years ago, where Felice was activity director at the time.

Norton says she is glad her daughter persuaded her to come.
