Marc,
I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing from Tim yesterday. I know it's hard to let go. But knowing he will not have to suffer nor you or other families members with the disease and that he is at peace is comforting. Alzheimer's is a cancer itself. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
