What industry's experts and others are saying about the book!
"Vickie, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book Don't Toss My Memories in the Trash. I'm currently helping my seventy-five year old mom downsize and move, as well as facing my in-laws future downsizing AND working with a lot more seniors as a professional organizer. The information you provide is really valuable. I shared the link on my facebook page. Thanks so much!

The book gives real world situations and what Vickie did to overcome obstacles along the way. While the situations may be similar to your own, the way Vickie handled them may provide insight for the next time you are faced with a difficult situation. Her caring and compassion is evident!

"Vickie's compassionate approach and insight into the moving and downsizing process gives you the necessary tools to ensure a smooth and satisfying move experience."
Barry J. Izsak, President, National Association of Professional Organizers
"I've just been reviewing your book in more detail for our interview tomorrow - and it is just exceptional!!! I have done quite a few interviews on aging issues and also on organizational issues and I don't think I have ever read a finer book that was so RIGHT ON with good, sound advice."
Cathy Bylthe, Host of Problems and Solutions, KFOR Radio, Lincoln, Nebraska
"This will help you understand that it's not just about "stuff", it's also about the memories, emotions, and life stages that "stuff" represents."
Peg Guild, President of the National Association of Senior Move Managers
"I just this minute finished reading your excellent book "Don't Toss My Memories in the Trash" in preparation for helping my 80 year old mother move from her 5BR rambler (with fully stuffed attic) to a new 2BR condo. With the good guidance from your book and a hefty dose of patience on both sides, we'll manage."
Julie, Bethesda, MD
"Vickie Dellaquila does more than offer an organizing and moving guide; she covers ALL the bases, not just the typical "how to's". The book focuses on seniors who are downsizing and moving from homes they've lived in for many years and where they raised their families. Ms. Dellaquila helps seniors understand their feelings--that it is natural for them to feel challenged with letting go because of the emotional ties and treasured memories that are connected to the home. She has helpful suggestions on how they can take the memories with them without taking all the "things" they've accumulated through the years. She also provides a Moving Workbook to keep a record of everything.
This book is a must-have for seniors and for the families of seniors. The advice in this book would have been a great help to my husband and me when our parents were reaching their elder years. And, I'm glad that I have this now for when we are faced with decisions about downsizing."

"Daddy was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and Mother could no longer care for him alone. It was time for them to move onto the next stage in their life and move in with us. Selling their house and life-long collection of memories was more traumatic for my sister and me than for Mother. What were we to do?
Vickie Dellaquila has the answers in her book "Don't Toss My Memories in the Trash". This is a wonderful book to assist you with cleaning out the clutter but hanging onto the memories. For example: Keep a teacup and saucer and sell the rest of the china set or use one crystal goblet for a pencil holder.
"Don't Toss My Memories in the Trash" is written in an easy to read format with check lists, references, and resources. If not for yourself, buy this book for someone who is moving or downsizing. It will make an excellent gift."

"I bought your book, read it in a flash and received LOTS of great advice! I especially like the idea of breaking up a set of china and saving just one place setting if they want. I am now working with the Mom and using some of your tips and ideas. Thank you so much for publishing an informative and well written book JUST when I needed it!"

Dear Vickie,
"I really enjoyed your book and must say that its purchase was timely. I just finished re-locating my mom last week (second time...this time from assisted living to a residential care home as she now needs monitoring 24 hours a day). She is 88 and suffers from dementia though she remains happy as a clam for which I am grateful. Your book has a nice tone, respectful, light and informative. I've now referred your book to the daughter of a friend with Parkinson's, a friend who just relocated her mom but needs to empty out a house out of state!!!, and to our son's educational advocate who has to deal with a father-in-law."
Warm regards,
Alys
