Brian,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Even when we know it is coming, it is still difficult. Your cousin died too young.

Tomorrow morning we are having a memorial service for my stepmother. She passed away last weekend at 89. She had Alzheimer's. She spent the last year in a special Alzheimer's facility. My father has had a long time to prepare for this. He is handling it okay, all things considered. They were married for 45 years.
