She has speech problems, conversational follow-up. It starts to get a little harder on that level.” Veronica Fox explained her daily life on television. “You have to prepare her stuff and dress her nicely.”
In the passages of France Dimanche, Veronica Nari, daughter of Martே Mercadier and Gerard Nari, said in 2016, “I had to adjust my schedule at the animal welfare center where I work, take care of me. Pack her stuff and help her dress like a baby. You have to feed her like a baby.” It’s very addictive, but I’m holding on, thanks to my antidepressants. “
