Unfortunately I was offline during the interval of all your posting -- so sorry to read of your loss when I was finally able to log into the Parkinson's web site. We've lost so many recently -- I do firmly believe your father (and father-in-law) is in a better place and finally free of this awful disease. As hard as it is to experience the loss, I hope you can gain some comfort from that thought.
