After a very long battle with Alzheimer's Andrea's mother, Shirley Limerick has gone to heaven and is reunited with her husband and her savior. The funeral is today, prayers for peace for Andrea and her family would be appreciated.

Same here, very sorry for your loss. It took my father and several of his siblings. It truly is one of the most cruel diseases.

Warm thoughts and prayers for Larry and Colleen Gill in East China Mi.

We've lost our grandfather, grandmother and father in law to Alzheimer's.

Terribly cruel disease, almost more so for the family.

Not that there's a pleasant way to go, but The Long Goodbye seems especially cruel. Please give her my most sincere thoughts and condolences, may the family find peace and comfort in this difficult time.

One of the reasons I moved to KY was to be closer to In-Laws as my mother in law has early signs of it starting. Her mother and sister both died of it. Terrible disease

My heart felt thoughts are with her and all the family involved  Cry

Dave,

my condolences to you, your wife and her family. I understand what she probably went through, my wife is going through it with both of her parents now. Her dad is getting worse each passing week and her mom isn't far behind with the symptoms.

it's a struggle each and every day.  Hopefully with time your wife will be able to relax and let those years of dealing with the Alzheimer's disease slip away and remember only what children should remember of their parents.

I wish you two all the best from here on out.

God Bless
