"Jeff and I can’t begin to tell you what your group these past two plus years has meant to us. Your easy manner, your continued love and compassion for us as caregivers as well as for our loved ones helped us form a group where all of us learned from you. And you encouraged us to speak and learn from our brothers and sisters in the group. No wonder all of us feel like family."

— Caregivers, Linda & Jeff Hillier

"I wanted to take a moment to share that I just attended the Alzheimer's Association Communication webinar with Mark Nutting—he was absolutely incredible. His dedication as a caregiver to his late mother was truly inspiring. His presentation was so engaging and compelling, and the stories he shared brought me back to my days working in dementia units as an activity aide."

(from an email to the Alzheimer's Association)

"I was under the mistaken understanding that once a person passed beyond the boundary, all sense of reality was lost. I always believed people continued to visit their loved ones day after day because they could not bear to be separated from them [not because it benefited the person with Alzheimer's]. Thanks to your wonderfully insightful book I now understand a little of the complexity [of Alzheimer's]. How wrong I was!"

— Lucy Carpenter

"Kudos to you for allowing yourself to be so real and raw [in your book] while allowing the rest of us inside to view your intimate personal journey of the light and the dark side of living and caring for a loved one with dementia/Alzheimer's.."

— Nichelle M. Liquori (Assistant Executive Director, Monson Council on Aging)

"Keep up your great work and YES I did get many pearls from your presentation and will be sharing with my siblings as we all work to support mom and as you so wonderfully pointed out, should we encounter someone in our day to day interactions."

— Emmie Gardner (CEO, Holy Cross Ministries)

"Constituent called to give a rave review for the class she took earlier today (10 Warning Signs: Early Detection Matters). She especially wanted to praise Mark Nutting, who 'was a five star speaker, with a kind and gentle soul.' She wanted to thank him during the program, but was scared to accidentally disconnect the call. Her final note was that she is a retired teacher with three graduate degrees, so she can be critical, but absolutely loved/appreciated the chapter's work today. Beautiful work by Mark and chapter 087- Massachusetts/New Hampshire!"

"First, thank you for the honor of [copy]editing your book. Overall, it is a very moving read full of practical advice for people who are caregivers especially of those with Alzheimer's or dementia."
