Bob much like our Dad suffered from this disease that many people do not know much about and how it effects the individual and the loved ones around them. Bob was a warm, generous man who would do anything for anyone. This disease came on slow and hit hard and fast in the end. It is truly sad to see a loved one slowly decline to the point that they have a hard time recognizing you. It is almost like they don't know what is happening to them. I hope in the months and years to come their are better diagnosing techniques, medicines and education to help people better understand this disease and better care for their loved ones.
