Mrs. Valdetero was diagnosed with dementia in early 2015. Her daughter is handling her affairs. Mrs. Valdetero's treating physician, Dr. Robert Aertker, III submitted a letter verifying her diagnosis and continued mental and physical deterioration. Her daughter indicates that she was first notified of a problem with the 2016 PFD on July 18, 2018. She believes her mother may have received letters prior to this time but her mother is unable to tell her now because of her condition. She completed the necessary amendments and filed them on July 19, 2018.
