Dinah's story filled me with hope when this disease hit my family and I was searching for positive thoughts. I am saddened for you and your family - and for all of us - because of her passing.
God loves you - trust him to help you through this.
With deepest sympathies -

I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing right now with Dinah's passing. She was truly a wonderful person and so generous with her time and compassion for others. The magic she worked to get all the Vegas planning underway was so appreciated. I know the road you both traveled has been a rough one and you both are real warriors in your battles with this horrible disease.
I am praying for God to deliver Dinah into His arms and to provide you with comfort and peace. My deepest sympathies to you.
With Love,
Ed
