I am so sorry that after this long protracted fight that you have lost your mom to this disease. I hope that your transition through this process of grieving is rapid, and that what you are left with is not the negative memories of all the treatments and surgeries, but those of the great times that you spent with her over all these years. I would also like to thank you for the donation to the foundation and the many many contributions you have made to the message board to share your experiences with others in the process. Your words of understanding, empathy, and the answers that you offered others based on your own experiences helped people who came in contact with you here. I hope that you will continue to stop by the forum, and when you feel appropriate, continue to add your comments to the postings. While your personal battle is now over, the disease continues to ravage and destroy lives. You insights and now your new experience would still be a valuable contribution to the process here. From the foundation, and from me personally, I want you to know that you and your family have our heartfelt condolences.
