Changes...

[Phil Tarman]

Some of you have known that my wife has been struggling with Altzheimer's. She's been in 2 care facilities for just a little over a year. Her daughter and I decided to stop feeding on Friday. We knew that meant she wouldn't be with us for too long, but we were surprised when she died this afternoon. Joanne has been a tremendous blessing to me since I met her in the spring of '97 and I really miss her, but nobody needs to go through what she has, so I am relieved that she isn't going through Altzheimer's torture any longer.

Sorry Phil, Rest in peace Joanne.

Wishing you well during this tough time.

My mother had Alzheimer's in a care facility for the last five years before her death. I watched her erode, and her body became an empty shell of her former self. I would allow longer time between visits as she did not know I was there. When she finally passed, a heavy object was lifted off me.

Sorry for your loss.

I have been dealing with a dark chapter in my life at the present.

Sorry to hear that Phil. You’re sharing the news with us may help your grieving process. I know you have helped many others in this situation.

I think of Joanne and the hospitality she provided when you shared your home with me back in about 2015. I’ll always remember her that way. She was indeed a wonderful person

May God’s peace be with you and your family.
