What a great tribute to your Mom, Jenn. Alzheimers is such a tragic disease, stealing our loved ones from us over time. You are to be commended for your support of this worthy cause. Thank you for sharing your Mom with us.

Thank you for your kind words - they mean a lot to me. I still tear up when I write about her, think about her - even though it has been 28 years. Alzheimers stole her from me - we were close.

Thank you. She was quite the woman - very independent. She instilled in me her independence.
