FROM INDIANA

Hi, I'm Chad and had helped a dear friend for 10 years before he passed. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's for quite a while until it got really serious and needed a caregiver daily to help him with his daily routine. He was the best friend I had since middle school and have always kept in touch while we moved away from home in our late 20's when we married. He lost his wife and then shortly after he suffered from a fall. From then his Alzheimer's creeped up slowly. He had the best bond and best friendship throughout. He is dearly missed. I thank you for letting me share my story with you all.
