Dear Kathleen,

I think we all struggle the find the words that might lessen each other's pain but it just doesn't work that way. So all I can say is that I am very sorry that you and Dick had to face this monstruous disease and that you are now without your beloved husband.

Kathleen,

You took amazingly good care of the husband that you love. That is one of the greatest things possible and I know that Dick appreciated it more than words can express.

Peace, love, and prayers to you and your family .....

Kathleen, to say I'm sorry is entirely inadequate. But I am truly sorry. Thank you for sharing your and dick's experience. It helps me to understand what my husband may face and therefore allows me to prepare and help him prepare should I fall before this disease. I wish you much peace and comfort.
