To roger and your family—–I am so very sad to hear of the loss of Lou Ann. She put up a awesome fight to the very end and you,– Roger—were the most loving caregiver she could have ever had. You should have no regrets of caring for her to the very end. Praying for you in the hard hard days ahead. Be good to yourself and may you have precious memories to carry you on to each tomorrow. I so appreciate all you did in her last days to keep doing what you did for all of usin spite of the sadness you were enduring. Love you for that. So sad for your loss!
