To Cinnamin

We’ve all been lighting candles for the past few weeks for Cinnamin’s mom. Last night between 12:30 and 1:00 AM Cin lost her Mom to Alzheimer’s.

You were an angel to your mom, Cin. You’re a wonderful daughter. Hugs for the strength and courage you showed through this journey.

Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To Stef

I was sad to read that Stef, at the young age of 20, lost her Nonna yesterday to Alzheimer's. Stef always spoke of her grandmother with such love and devotion. It was heartwarming to read Stef's posts about how close she and her grandmother were.

Know that your Nonna knew you loved her and she's proud of the close relationship you two had. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time, Stef.
