I'm so sorry Thena. My dad was ill for a number of years. It started with a brain aneurysm in 1970. Left him paralyzed from the waist down. Then followed numerous strokes and three major heart attacks. He finally passed away in 1995. We think that towards the end, he was in stage 4 of Alzheimer's. It's hard having to watch a parent like that.
