    Jeanne C., Thank you for checking. I'm doing well. I have the assurance that Cynthia is with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and she is disease free! I have lonely moments. But have my God to comfort me as well as family and friends. There is life after Alzheimer's. I'm forever changed, but not broken. I wish this same comfort for all my fellow travelers.

    Tom
