You have portrayed Alzheimers so simply and heartbreakingly. It really touched me. Alzheimers is such a devastating disease !

Loved the way you made fun of yourself with an undertone of what we all fear. Gail

Excellent way to talk about a very hard subject. My mother-in-law Didn't know her daughter or me the last few years of her life but she was fun in some ways.

A friend's father at 55 is already showing signs of the illness. It must be hard to lose the mind at such an early age.
Another friend died but was brought back to life w/ brain damage--although she didn't know her own family, she still knew she was a child of GOD.
