Larry,

Thank you for that compassionate post and reminder that so many go through similar circumstances no matter what the disease. I have nearly wept every time I've seen Nancy on TV this week. She loved him so much. I feel so close to her, knowing exactly what she went through (but for only a short time compared to her experience).

It is so hard to watch the person you love and adore deteriorate before your very eyes. She had to watch it happen in slow motion. It is just so sad. Her strength is surely profound.
