Snipes, the president and CEO of Lutheran Services Florida, goes on to state that LSF strongly supports this bill. He claims that its guardianship program has served individuals who have no family members willing or able to manage affairs and make life decisions.
Sipes also states that it is preferential that family members serve as the guardians and that the agency will find the least restrictive measure to assist individuals with declining capacity to care for themselves. It trains family members to take on this role.
He finishes his column by claiming LSF will continue to work to make Florida’s guardianship system the most compassionate and person-centered system in the USA.
Really? If what he says is true, then why is LSF fighting Julie Ferguson, the more than willing, very capable, devout and loving daughter of Marise London, for guardianship?

Well said, and absolutely true.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's time to Mr. Snipes to walk the talk.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
ReplyDeleteStand up and swallow hard, Mr. Snipes, and let go of Marise London.
ReplyDeleteSnipes,
ReplyDeleteWho do you think you are kidding? Not us. Luther Social Services is out for its own welfare and NO ONE elses. You hide behind the "Luthern" label and anyone familiar with the "services" your organization provides knows there is no "GOD" infused. Luthern Social Services is FAR from a mission driven organization. Let go of the "victims" you now have who have loving family members fighting for them. At the end of the day, Snipes, Karma sucks.
Let's see what he does. Hopefully, he takes the feedback to heart.
