Good evening all.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for all the kind words and prayers.  The ones we lost are all in a better place and will live on in our memories.<br /><br />Andrea.....Hang in there.  It&#39;s not an easy task you have.  Lynda&#39;s dad had a rare disease that attacks the brain stem. It affected his speech and balance.  He was diagnosed when he was 65 and passed away at 83.  We were his care givers for most of that time.  We treated him with respect and a lot of discussions.  We let him make most of the decisions with much guidance, but you could tell that made him feel better.  <br /><br />Have a good evening
