Shelly (Pellerin) Warters is submitting a waiver request on behalf of her father, Jimmie Joseph Pellerin as his designated POA. Mr. Pellerin was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago and his wife, Charlene Fruge Pellerin ,passed away unexpectedly on 2/22/2023. Mr. Pellerin's condition has worsened over the years and even more so since his wife's passing. Ms. Warters and her sister are trying to get a handle on any issues and this filing requirement has recently been brought to her attention. She lives in Maine, which makes this situation challenging. She believes her parents filed timely until their health began to decline, which happened sooner than she realized as evidenced by the demand letter. Ms. Warters appreciates your consideration in this matter.
