    Oh Leslie, please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your dear husband. Fourteen years is a long time to wrestle with AD. May he rest in peace. And may you also be comforted and have peace in due time.

    Leslie, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear husband. Fourteen years is a long time to have to deal with this awful disease. I hope some of the early ones were mild and that symptoms didn’t get really bad until the later years. It’s hard to imagine having to deal with such an awful disease as a certainty for so long.
