After 7 years in the nursing home, having lived at home for the first
year after her diagnosis with AD, my mother-in-law, Doris Faye Mears
Cole, passed away late on September 29.

http://tinyurl.com/4tye3z has her obituary.

We'd lost my husband's father, Bob, 19 days prior to her death.
September left us reeling, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Oh Beth, I am so sorry.

It is never easy no matter how one reconciles with it beforehand. Here is
hoping that you have a better year ahead than this past month has been.

She is surely in a better place now.........

I extend my condolences. Remember the good times, and the fact
that she's no longer lost or confused, or in any pain.

The worst part about this disease is that they're gone before
they leave, as a friend said about his mother's passing.
