Hi All,

My amazing, dear husband died Sunday morning.  I want to thank you, the great people on this forum, who helped us along this path that we all share.  I will post again, but wanted you to know he is now at peace.  Thinking of you and thankful for your kindness.

    So sorry for your loss, Sligo.  He's well now and not in pain or confusion - maybe that might help you a bit - it did me when I lost Charles.

    Almighty God, our brother has come to Your arms and we can be joyous that his earthly confusion and torment are no more. He is loved and our memory of his time on this earth, before his torment, is precious. The faith we have in You is our comfort that paradise is free of Alzhiemer's and our brother ls restored. As Your will be done in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

    My prayer for you and your family.
