I pray they find her. Anyone who has ever dealt with someone with Alzheimers knows that it is like dealing with a child. They can be there one minute and gone the next.

Her "caregiver" must not had their mind on their job to let this poor woman get out of sight and gone in this cold weather, there is no way she could survive dressed in a t-shirt, barefoot. I pray that she is somewhere sheltered and survives.
