Mom: Fought a good fight, gone too soon

My Mom was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's 15 years ago when she was in her early to mid 50s. It was a diagnosis we didn't expect and didn't want to hear. She fought a good fight for 15 years and was and is so loved. I wanted to honor her memory in a way that would make a difference. That's why I joined the fight to end this devastating disease by creating this tribute page in their name.

By taking this step, I'm raising funds to support the critical work of the Alzheimer's Association: providing care and support for families, advancing promising research and offering a lifeline through their free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Every dollar raised helps ensure that no one faces Alzheimer's alone.

I'd be so grateful if you would make a memorial gift in her name. It would mean a lot to me and those facing this relentless disease. 

Thank you in advance for your kindness, generosity, support, love and prayers.
