Hi guys I would like to give you guys update and all of your suggestions were very helpful.
I recommended that he give his aunt the iPad under her own Apple ID. He thought it was a good idea, so the first thing we did was to take everything off that iPad and he created her a new ID. We ended up calling her, and this lady is a real sharp lady. She is in her 80s, and the first thing she said to me was "does it have Siri?" That really impressed me, because it sounds like that she knows where things are at. We put Bard mobile on it and then we started moving around icons. So we are in the process of customizing this iPad for her. So, thank you very much guys.
