At 2:00 am this morning 9/13/2011 Jan passed away. As you all know she was failing for some time and she finally gave up the fight. I would like to thank you all for your support and prayers during this difficult time. Eventually we will all make this trip to the finish. My only advice is to love them with all your heart and remember that alzheimers is a disease and that is what makes the trip difficult not your loved one they are only the carrier of the disease and they lose just as much as you do in the journey. May God grant us all peace at the end of this journey. my heart and prayers go out to all of you here at Az spouse.. Bruce
