So very sorry about your dear wife Gail recently passing away. It is hard to understand why this awful disease strikes the way it does and to whom it does. May God grant you and your family His peace and strength to go on.

I am so sorry to hear about Gail and I offer my sincerest condolences. I hadn't really spent a lot of time here lately and missed that you were going such a difficult time. If there is anything I can do for you please feel free to ask, I am only a stone's throw from you.
I am wishing you only the best during these difficult times.
